Look what Daddy brought you from Taipei! If there's one thing about Computex, it's the relative ease with which a journalist can get his/her hands on an Intel Roadmap. We're not saying we did.. and we're not saying we didn't either but we do like to wear raincoats and we are former DIA & CIA, so we know the ropes. What we're officially saying is that we met with several 'key sources close to Intel'. And on 'several occasions' no lesss?Now we're sure we'll see the same roadmap details on many a web site over the next week or two. In fact, not only can one get a single copy (apparently in color) but one can also bring a couple of extra copies home for the kids too (if they happen to be that way inclined). So without further ado we've gleaned what we believe to be the most fascinating points so let's get straight down to the full Monty.

Usually any new Intel Roadmap itself is interestingly (well it's not that interesting!) split up into six sections. The Desktop CPU (the really interesting part), the Mobile CPU, Chipsets, Graphics, Enterprise Server and Workstation. For the purposes of this article, we'll be as to the point as possible. Most of you aren't going to be interested too much in the Enterprise Server or Workstation all that much so we'll leave those bits out for another time and a rainy day. A very rainy day.
