The P35 is a successor of Intel's P965 Express chipset. Many marketing pitch and reviews alike seem conclude that there's three things P35 offer over P965 - official support for 1333 MHz bus, Intel's upcoming 45nm Penryn processor family and DDR3 800 to 1333 MHz support.

Today, we're going to take a look at what the P35 has to offer in comparison to its older sibling, the Intel P965 Express chipset.
