Future Intel chips to integrate trusted memory, USB

FRENCH SITE X86-Secrets has published a slide, apparently from Intel, which shows that the firm will apparently integrate TPM module, trusted memory, and trusted USB 2.0, using future processors codenamed Allendale and Millville.

By the fourth quarter of 2006, according to the slide, the Allendale chip will go into production will Millville following on in 2007. A number of flavours of chipsets will also support DDR-3 800, six S-ATA ports, serial flash (SPI) eight X1 PCI Express slots, and La Grande technology.

Some of these features will rely on features of Longhorn, Intel said at its last Developer Forum. The X86-Secrets story and slide are here. µ
