« Intel launched their P35 chipset to much fanfare last May. Although it was an evolutionary upgrade, it brought a lot to the table and offered exceptional performance. The problem, though, was that it was designed for mid-range and high-end motherboards, cutting out the budget offerings entirely. So naturally, a month or two after that launch, Intel followed-up with the introduction of the P31 and G31 chipsets for the value-conscious. The launch of P31 was interesting, most notably because I didn’t even know about it until months after the fact […] To say it was a quiet launch would be an understatement. In all likeliness, Intel didn’t want to push the chipset too hard in order to better promote their higher-end and far superior P35 and G35, considering most of those motherboards still go for reasonable prices. »
