Read more.

Will you actually get more bandwidth though as the on-chip PCI-e will still be 2.0 based and the PCH still has to connect over the bandwidth strangled DMI.

I'm calling marketing gimmick.

P67 already superseded ?

Maybe a dumb question, but will ivy bridge work with that motherboard?

Yes.

Ivy Bridge is likely to be PCIe 3.0, so in conjuction with this board provide pcie 3.0. And what does the PCH have to do with anything?

I just read that ivy bridge processor will work in those motherboards and be able to take full advantage of the pci 3.0 lanes.
