Intel's new 3GHz Pentium 4 chip should soon let loose a torrent of new, high-performance desktop PCs.
It may be a year before the 3GHz chip, expected this week, and its hyperthreading feature catch on among business buyers, but gamers and affluent consumers will have them both on hand for the holidays.
PC makers such as Dell Computer will offer the 3GHz chip in their performance-oriented desktop models, which sell for $2,000 and above.

A U.S. District Court judge issued an injunction Wednesday that bars Intel from making and selling its Itanium processor, but immediately suspended that order to allow the chip maker to appeal the ruling.
Following the order, an Intel spokesman said it would pay Intergraph $100 million for a license to Intergraph's technology if it loses its appeal in the case.

Sixty-four-bit computing is coming to the desktop next year, but Intel Corp. is gambling that the demand for such power will remain only for high-end enterprise systems.
At the Microprocessor Forum here last week, IBM, of Armonk, N.Y., became the second chip maker to announce a 64-bit product for use in desktops. The 1.8GHz PowerPC 970 will be introduced in the second half of next year.

Intel updated its chipsets on Monday, a move that promises better performance for a wide range of desktop PCs.
The company said that the chipsets will add support for faster memory, while one chipset in particular is expected to improve graphics performance. The changes also make it possible for PCs to be built with the upcoming 3GHz Pentium 4 with hyperthreading, a technology that is said to boost performance by about 25 percent.
