- Intel Timna
Timna was the codename of a proposed Processor Family by
Intel . The project was announced in 1999 and was designed inHaifa ,Israel . "Timna" is also the name of acity inIsrael . It was supposed to be the first Processor with an IntegratedGPU and Memory controller which was designed to work withRDRAM . The price ofRDRAM did not drop as expected byIntel . So, It was decided to use the Memory Translator Hub(MTH) that is also used by the Intel 820 chipset to link Timna withSDRAM . Later, a serious defect was discovered in the design of the MTH and so the Intel 820 based motherboards using it had to be recalled. The MTH was rebuilt again but problems still remained. Timna was therefore cancelled on 29 September 2000.External links
