reports Intel's X58 chipset will rock on for another year:
After a few solid years of serving Intel's enthusiast-grade desktop platform, the 2008-launched X58 Express 'I/O Hub' (read chipset) has received a retirement schedule which says that it has 12 more months to go until it's fully replaced by the X79 (LGA 2011).
The X58 will continue to be available for orders until April 27th, 2012, and will be shipped by Intel till October 5th (also 2012).
