[FUD] Intel high end 2011 chipset remains X58E

Intel Gulftown six-core Extreme Edition CPUs are working happily on X58 based motherboards, and most of the new socket B 1366 motherboards already have X58E chipset.

Intel still officially talks only about X58 chipset that was introduced almost two years ago in Q4 2008 and there are no any changes in the official chipset listing at Intel’s webpage.

Some daring companies such as Gigabyte claim that many of their motherboards do have this new chip including Gigabyte MB GA-X58A-UD3R, GA-X58A-UD5 and GA-X58A-UD7.

At this time there is no indication about any changes in the high-end chipset market and we can confirm that the future Core i7 990X Extreme edition fits in the same X58E motherboard. There are no X68 plans, at least not now and they won’t materialize soon.

It looks like that X58E motherboards will have to reach for USB 3.0 support from the third party vendors as two years can do a lot to features inside of one’s chipset.

So this X58E is a minor refresh yes or no?

A die shrink would be nice... I've always thought they ran hotter than they needed to

Soon chipset will have not much value. With 40 pci-e 3.0 lanes from CPU you can connect whatever you want directly to CPU.

It has to be released first. And according to FUD it will not happen in 2011.

Yeah, I personally think s2011 should come in Q3 2011 after all. Would be about time.

2x PCIE16x for video cards, 1x PCIE8x for PhysX card or RAID + Sound cards, etc.

o i know he didnt mean slots :)
okay well so what we r using now via x58 will be directly connected to a cpu ...
so everything is now being eaten by cpu!
then overclocking will again see some barriers ...

Not nessesary it will limit OS. There is no OS problems in current Linfield CPU line since it has proper clock multiplier for pci-e. So the overcklocability of S2011/S1356 CPUs depends on Intel's desision to implement proper multipliers.
