英特尔2007年停止对BTX机箱格式支持

Edison

Intel called a meeting in Taipei with the mainboard and chassis manufacturers, our Willy managed to stealthfully get the gossip from the meeting and, we have some very interesting beans for all to gander upon. Interestingly enough,its all about one of the blocks which the axe has fallen upon. When Intel was suffering with thermals (not just CPU, but also with dual 160w Graphics cards) they launched a new method of chassis layout - called BTX.

Intel have now decided that they won't be supporting BTX in 2007 with new SKUs in the channel with retail products, however they will of course keep supporting SKUs which are present on the market such as the DQ965-CO. So, whilst the standards are not being ditched - Intel will no longer be supporting them directly for the channel customers, but no doubt will, if the large OEMS request offer support.

Of course, the need for BTX has not spread to the enthusiast user, but big OEMs such as HP, Dell and others have adopted BTX and have been using this in their systems for a couple of years. Some people may not be shocked with this, since Intel have recently launched Core2Duo which offers crazy performance at half the TDP of previous generation parts, however you still have hot graphics cards, and hard drives. Of course thermals will again return to being key when we see Kentsfield (Intel's Quad Core part) later this year which will come in at 130W TDP (Dual Core2Duo), will we see BTX raised from its ashes again?

The only question to ponder is that, if Intel wishes to again propose a chassis standard, what support will they see from the key players in Taiwan, whom have bought in to the vision and the concept? Will the other manufacturers regard Intel as a technology leader, what will this do to their reputation?

只可惜我那个 IBM A51P 的 BTX 机箱，吵的和拖拉机一样，风扇太差了

其实ATX主板一样可以弄成BTX的布局的(_(

OEM市场今后90%以上都会是BTX
DIY市场BTX彻底取消了

我感觉btx更好~~因为我这里n多dell的机器，比较下来还是btx的最安静~
ATX的机种一般是平时安静，但是负荷一大就开始吵，BTX的那两台机器怎么弄都是那么安静~

ATX与BTX的配置都一样吗？

最主要是主板厂商不买帐........

我觉得BTX挺好啊~我的实验室里有一台dell的电脑，PD820的，BTX结构，散热特别好，噪音几乎为零~~

dell的atx和btx散热设计都很好。

感觉btx和以前586时代的主板怎么那么像呢？

只要主板还能继续有就行了

也够郁闷的了　＃

BTX的核心问题在于下游厂商根本不买账。况且ATX也没到了从根本上影响系统稳定的状况。

看清楚：热量问题没有解决啊！4核心的U；还有130W的显卡；发烧点；两块呀。
