Asus P5K Deluxe and Gigabyte P35-DS3R Preview

Neoseeker has a preview up this morning of 2 motherboards containing the new P35 chipset from Intel.

The P35 is the first chipset that will be released belonging to the "Bearlake" family - all members of which are made on a 65nm process, a which should allow for lower voltages and higher speeds. It will also bring official support for a 1333MHz FSB and DDR3 - significantly increasing the potential bandwidth between the processor, chipset and memory. The hopes of such an increase is allowing the excellent Core 2 design and future Penryn processors to better flex their digital muscles.

We’re also getting reports courtesy of Phillip Dias and Quentin Dement that some P35 motherboards are already showing up for sale.
