3.7.2009 Intel to take 'Averill' to market as Centrino-like platform
Intel will next year launch its third branded PC platform, after Centrino and Viiv, this time pitched at corporate desktops.
As yet there's no word on the platform's go-to-market brandname, but it will almost certainly be based on Intel's 'Averill' platform. Averill was announced at the chip giant's Developer Forum in March this year for availability in 2006.
Averill is based on Intel's upcoming 'Broadwater' chipset, which will ship primarily as the 965 family, but also as the 946 and 963 product lines, it is believed. The platform also takes in Intel's next-generation Gigabit Ethernet controller, 'Nineveh', and its 65nm dual- and single-core Pentium D and Pentium 4 6xx processors.

19.10.2007AMD Kills Quad FX Platform
AMD diverts resources from the Quad FX platform development the same year it promises Quad FX is the enthusiast future.
AMD
excited many technology enthusiasts last year when it introduced the Quad FX platform. AMD representatives touted this platform as the next big thing
from AMD.
AMD apparently talked up its Quad FX enthusiast platform so well that
Intel decided to roll out a
competing product in its unreleased Skulltrail platform. When the
Quad FX platform first hit market in January of 2007 it seemed doomed from the start to many with steep price premiums for the
mainboards and the processors. These price premiums led to the lethargic adoption of the platform.
