New products, old problems for Intel - ULV Core Duo CPU and 965 chipset
 

As expected, Chandrasekher used his keynote address to formally announce the .90nm 965 chipset, previously known as Broadwater, and an ultra-low voltage notebook version of the Core 2 Duo.

And, in what was effectively a pep talk for Intel's many manufacturing partners in Taiwan, he expounded upon the many benefits of forthcoming Core 2 Duo desktop, and notebook CPUs, and new server CPUs. Given the audience, Chandrasekher's admission of problems last year can be construed as an apology for upsetting everyone's schedules by not keeping the Intel train running quite as smoothly as usual.The emphasis was on performance and power consumption, more than price.
