I don't understand what place this serves in the Market. To me it seems to replace the current range only.
It's what the p67 should have been. The p67 is now effectively a cut-down part that'll help create budget gaming rigs.Originally Posted by Tattysnuc
seems completely pointless to me
i've got a P67 and couldn't be happier, what else does this bring to the table ?
RST SSD caching seems a bit pointless with SSD prices dropping so you can buy a drive and actually use it as a *gasp* drive!
I've got a 120gb SSD, used to install games to it but now install them to a RAID array instead as loading times are pretty identical
edit: jesus CHRIST tattysnuc your rig is ridiculous! hahaha
Surely the biggest addition is the fact you can overclock AND use the chips graphics for hardware acceleration
Its going to fit in quite nicely. I require over-clocking headroom on the processor but not so much graphics grunt so will make do with the on chip graphics. Hopefully it wont be too expensive. I am looking forward to having a play.....
2 sata 6gb/s and no usb 3.0 native to the chipset
Intel have no interest in USB3 so will leave it down to the manufacturers to add, they would rather work towards lightpeak.
If they price it at P67 prices I am out.. its just what H67 should have been ie H67+overclocking CPU and they think people might pay £40 extra to overclock?
Forget features and performance - it's NEW, and it has a BIGGER number, which means it must be better.
And I want one. Now!
No way I configured my build and I'm getting a p67 MB unless the Z68 can shine my shoes. I wonder how much more they're going to charge for them over p67...
Supposedly Gigabyte is stopping production of the P67 and replacing the motherboards based on this chipset with Z68 based motherboards.
Yeah, it'd be a bit silly not to. Z68 is the all singing, all dancing chipset, and if P67 isn't cheap enough there wouldn't be any reason to go for it over Z68.
Damn it all Q_Q I'm 3 days from ordering my build; is this something I should wait for and incorporate?
It's the joy of computing, there's always something to wait for or just around the corner. If you can wait then good, but if you really need to upgrade now (as opposed to a month or two) I don't think you will be disappointed with a p67 they make a great base for a pc.
