allman--You write: "Both Intel boards equipped with TPM v1.2 (as of today) are labelled 'G', for integrated graphics. These are clearly price-conscious models for businesses. If they were destined for home entertainment usage, they would have separate graphics cards from ATI or NVIDIA."
As I stated Grantsdale is ALL ABOUT ENTERTAINMENT PCS. Read the below excerpt: It is made very clear, ATI and NVIDIA are joining the Grantsdale bandwagon.
And I might add, that of course, the Enterprise sector will IN TIME commit itself to TCG; but the penetration will be piecemeal and weak until the consumer is hooked. Read what S. Sprague had to say on this very topic in the Unclevername transcript just posted. S. Sprague telegraphed IMO the WAVE deployment plans in that direct reply.
PCI Express is here to replace your trusty AGP slot AND your PCI slots. The high speed bus combined with the Intel 915P/G and 925X chipsets will deliver the best in gaming graphics and allow high definition video editing. Both of the popular video card manufacturers (ATI and nVidia) have jumped on the bandwagon and are already distributing PCI Express compatible video cards. I believe Intel summed up the PCI Express bus best when they said;
"The PCI Express* x16 graphics interface, offered by the Intel® 925X, 915G and 915P Express chipsets, provides a solution for demanding usage models. The PCI Express x16 graphics interface delivers increased bandwidth and scalability over previous generation AGP8X-based solutions. With up to 4 GB/s of peak bandwidth per direction, and up to 8 GB/s concurrent bandwidth, a platform configured with a PCI Express x16 graphics card can tackle the most demanding multimedia tasks."
The flyer specifically states: "TPM -- Yes on Gigabit LAN SKU"
Yet the TPM is most definitely an Infineon product (and I don't see where it's 1.2 -- yet, but more on that at a later time) and the Gigabit LAN is "Gigabit (10/100/1000 Mbits/sec) LAN subsystem using the Marvel* Yukon* 88E8050 PCI Express* Gigabit Ethernet Controller"
So, the puzzle (for me) is why is there only TPM with the Gigabit LAN, since there doesn't appear to be any connection between the two parts?
And, is it REALLY 1.2?
According to this and this it's Infineon 1.1b. And if you look at both of these closer, the models with both firewire and gigabit LAN have the TPM included...
