Intel Developer Forum Day 3 - More from the Tech Showcase

Statesboro Corporate Platform

We've shown you a number of Big Water based concept platforms for 2004, but Intel also had a number of concept PCs for 2003 on display at the Technology Showcase - including Statesboro, a concept we talked about yesterday.

Here we have the Statesboro corporate PC concept:

Again, with the corporate concept, Statesboro boasts a sleek case design with a very simple white fascia; the entire design is very Apple-like, it looks almost like a big iPod.

The inside of the Statesboro machine is none other than Intel's 865 (Springdale) chipset, which will be found in a great deal of PCs by the end of this year. Once again we see the large heatsink on the 865 MCH, eliminating the need for any sort of active cooling on the MCH, which is very important for keeping sound levels as low as possible.
