Intel X68 to deliver USB 3.0 and SATA 6Gbps in Q2 2010?

Take it with a grain of salt, but according to a report by Japanese tech site ASCII we may see USB 3.0 and SATA 6Gbps support from Intel a lot sooner than expected. If the site is right, Intel is working hard on a Tylersburg refresh that will offer SATA 6Gbps and USB 3.0 support sometime next quarter in the form of the X68 + ICH11 chipsets.

There's also some information about the P65, H65 and Q65 chipsets, these new models will reportedly arrive in Q1 2011. They will introduce DMI 2.0 (5GT/s), SATA 6Gbps and USB 3.0.
