heard the first motherboards based on the Intel P55 chipset should arrive in July. These boards support Lynnfield, and later also the 32nm Clarksdale chips.
The boards should be shown off at Computex in their final form, but depending on Intel, the boards could ship after July 2009, or, in case Intel starts shipping its LGA1060 CPUs later, the boards will also ship later.
This board should boost sales of Nehalem generation CPUs, as Core i7 is not doing particularly well in market penetration and the cheaper Nehalem, Lynnefield quad-core has a tough task to try to win approximately 10 percent of total Intel CPU shipments by the end of the year.
