Tech Link (Motherboard): Conroe Motherboards Arrive

Seems like Conroe is making a big splash in Taiwan. And for a good reason of course. However, what I really found very intersting on the news today is the apparent info that manufacturers are already getting early samples of QuadCore Kensfield. Omigosh, 4x4 is, well, may come in late. The landscape is going like 1x4 vs "4x4", it looks like another fair match, NOT! < Ebil Laugh>Hahahahahaha!< /Ebil Laugh>

Of course, once Kentsfield hit the storeshelves, it would seem that the best chipset to partner this with is also with the i975 bad boy. This is really making purchase of i975 more and more attractive (let's just hope, Conroe boards will support Kentsfield as well).

While Conroe is the talk of the town, a few motherboard manufacturers have already received Kentsfield samples from Intel. Kentsfield is a quad-core version of Conroe, still for the desktop market, due out in the first quarter of next year. The motherboard makers that are fortunate enough to have Kentsfield have already confirmed that it is up and running on current P965 and 975X platforms.
