Intel Points Its Partners Toward SMBs: Page 3 of 3

Intel expects to roll out an 915G marketing campaign aimed at the SMB market during the next four to six weeks.

On the server side, Intel is emphasizing its new 64-bit-capable Xeon processor (formerly code-named Nancona). Systems built with the CPU will include an 800-MHz front-side bus, eight USB 2.0 ports, PCI Express and support for DDR2 memory.

Intel rounded out its XChange '04 presentation with talk about its new Digital Home consumer initiative. Digital Home is Intel's broad push to place networked entertainment devices in every room, so consumers can listen to mp3 audio files, watch movies and download digital content.

Intel is already working to build demand, hoping to jump-start consumer sales during the 2004 holiday shopping season of media-capable "entertainment" PCs.
