Intel integrates WiFi into Pentium 4 CPUs

First Intel was going to integrate WiFi into their i915 and i925 Pentium 4 chipsets (so your desktop PC could pull double duty as a wireless access point), then they dropped it because WiFi prices dropped so low that it became a liability in the marketplace. Now comes word that they've reversed course again and now will be outting WiFi into their next-gen P4 chipsets (though there's no word whether it will be as a WiFi client or access point), code-named 'Grantsdale' and 'Alderwood', which will bring a speedy 1066MHz front side bus speed and 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM support to the table (which in plain English means "freaking fast").
