Intel set to introduce processors with integrated memory controllers

CeBIT 2004 Intel following AMD’s technology lead

...Chipzilla to – once again - follow AMD’s lead, and introduce desktop, workstation and server processors that not only feature support for the iAMD instruction set but with AMD64 style integrated memory controllers.
.....

Intel’s strategy has been to supply a mainboard chipset with every processor...........

The flipside of this is that AMD have mostly struggled and often pretty miserably – especially in the early days - in gaining the full cooperation and focus from the same manufacturers and infrastructure partners. The present situation is however much more rosy, but we think that if AMD can keep their head above water, flog its wares and keep the revenue rolling in, then the pain will ease as time goes on.

....Will Intel then withdraw from the mainboard business altogether?
