Default ED#67 : Intel X48 Express & 1600MHz FSB Processor Details

The Intel X38 Express is the new hot chipset on the block. Not only is it the first Intel chipset to support PCI Express 2.0, it is also the first Intel chipset to allow two PCI Express graphics cards to run at X16 speeds.

However, its reign will not be a long one. Intel will be launching the X48 Express chipset very soon and with it, two new Intel Core 2 processors that support the 1600 MHz FSB speed.

Here's a quote from the editorial :-
Quote:
"We had earlier reported that it will soon be superseded by the Intel X48 Express chipset. Now, we have information that the Intel X48 Express chipset is slated to be launched sometime in mid-January, 2008."

Are you sure? I thought even the 975X supports 2 16X PCIE lanes.

Nope. It only supports 16 PCI Express lanes. Hence, it can only run at one full-speed, 16-lane port... or two 8-lane ports.

Hehe.. That's the Extreme edition what.. You are "expected" to use water cooling.

BTW, if I'm not mistaken, the Core 2 Extreme QX9775 is supposed to be used in the Intel Skulltrail system.
