Yesterday marked the first day of our motherboard coverage at Comdex 2002. Most of the motherboard makers we visited seem to be big on Granite Bay (E7205) and SiS 655, although we were overwhelmed with Hammer boards as well. Newsletter subscribers have already gotten a sneak peak at this article, but now you too can read about the motherboards at Comdex...

The first day of Comdex comes to a close and we've already seen quite a bit. Everything from a 1.4GHz Hammer to a fully working Springdale board and much more...

We sat down with Intel's CTO, Pat Gelsinger and picked his brain about Hyper-Threading for this final piece in our coverage of the Fall 2002 Intel Developer Forum. Also find out what Intel's real stance is on RDRAM as a memory technology going forward.

We spent some time in the Technology Showcase today and got some more information on Banias, PCI Express and Intel's two new PC form factors.

We sat down with Bill Siu of Intel and got a chance to pick his brain about Hyper-Threading. He revealed a very interesting point about the performance of Hyper-Threading enabled Pentium 4s.

Intel revealed quite a bit about their new mobile processor - Banias. Read on to find out exactly what's behind this 77 million transistor CPU.

Our motherboard editor was on the floor of the IDF Technology Showcase today and managed to grab some pictures of DDR-II and PCI Express slots in addition to a lot of detail on Serial ATA and SiS' R658 RDRAM chipset.

We're half-way through the first day of the fall Intel Developer Forum and already have quite a bit to report. Although Intel's opening keynote was not too entertaining, Microsoft was there to save the day and a 4.7GHz Pentium 4 never hurts.

Before this year's Fall Intel Developer Forum even started we've got some interesting things to report. Get ready because your next CPU could run off of two voltages in an effort to reduce power consumption, which will be very necessary as we move towards multicore CPU designs. Find out what the first multicore Intel CPUs will be and learn a bit more about the Pentium 4 with Hyper-Threading in our Preview coverage.

Day 3 of Computex 2002. Today we focus mainly on ATI while discussing VIA and PaceBlade as well.

Today was an even more interesting day as we got the first demo of ATI's R300 chip. We also ran into a handful of nForce2 based motherboards and took a look at ASUS' Palm-sized XScale PDA. Also find out about Intel's next-generation Pentium 4 CPU and chipset.

The first day of Computex 2002 has come to an end and while we get a few hours of sleep on the other side of the world we've got some interesting reading for you all. Today alone we saw the first Radeon 8500XT Ultra, KT400 based motherboards, more Hammer boards, the first dual channel DDR desktop Pentium 4 chipset and much more...

We've only been at Computex for a couple of hours but there is already quite a bit to talk about. We've already seen every single Hammer chipset that will be available for the CPU and are bringing you the first information and photos of them all.

Tillmann wrapped up his coverage of this year's CeBIT conference with a lot of interesting material. Have a look at AMD's "modified" Hammer reference board, some 760MPX and KT333 board designs, Intel's answer to the GeForce4 MX 440, the idea of plastic heatsinks and much more...

Tillmann Steinbrecher, our german correspondant, was in Hannover for this year's CeBIT conference. See all that he saw including PowerVR's 3D chip for PDAs.

To conclude our coverage of the Spring '02 IDF we wrote a bit about Pat Gelsinger's keynote on Thursday. Find out what the next thing to make it onto the silicon of future Intel CPUs will be.

AMD and Intel talk CPUs, Serial ATA II is introduced and a number of other technologies are discussed. Did we mention a 800MHz FSB?

We asked and we received, read about the next-generation form factors, the 4GHz Pentium 4, and much more.

Today we saw everything from XScale prototype PDAs and E7500 boards to Serial ATA RAID and 600MHz FSB clocks.

It's the slowest Comdex we've ever seen but that doesn't mean there's nothing interesting to talk about. From NVIDIA's new mobile part to Intel's DDR 845 chipset, we've seen more than a few interesting things in our first day at Comdex.
