The new Grantsdale/Northwood (915/925) chip sets have some nice built in features, but the big addition is PCI Express. This allows bidirectional high speed data transfer from the graphic card, and will be key for enabling useful coprocessing on the GPU.

There isn't much software out there that takes advantage of this yet, so it's more of a future benefit. The current tests show the new chipset/processor combos to be only slightly faster than the old.

The new site does not work as well with Opera and other non-mainstream-browsers as the old page did. You do have to look at the page with Microsoft Internet Explorer and most of the things work... but still, it's quite a shame! :-)
