Most interesting part is this.

* DMIの速度が2倍(5GT/秒)のDMI 2.0になること
* SATAがGen3対応となり、6Gbpsの転送速度を持つSATA 600になること
* USB 3.0コントローラーを搭載すること

No need for a translation to understand the finer points!!

hard to make out what the jibberish in japanese, so here's the english translation. it's a little choppy, but i got the meat of it.

WTF.... X68?

jajaja

I was wondering when this would pop up. About time. How old is x58/p55 now?

Is this in line with the same timeline transition that p35 -> p45?

[~CS~]

Google translated

Bunch of speculation , of course its coming , of course its going to have usb 3 and sata 3 .

Thanks, but that's pretty much what we are getting with some X58 refresh boards right? X58-UD7, P6X58, RIIIE... Except for the future support for the Intel octocores, that is.

Wait, what? DMI? So X68 takes a step back from QPI? I think X58 will still be the top performer if this is true.

Kind of humorous, this thread popping up less than 24horus since I ordered my first x58 board

No you aren't reading it right. It's saying it will use DMI v2.0 for X68 -> ICH11 link instead of DMI v1.0. It still uses QPI for CPU <-> IOH link.

[schlafmuetze]

so it looks like the 775er again, p35 -> p45
1366, x58 -> x68, who knows what else is cominf

i for sure am intrested and hope evga brings out some kick ass board in the style of the s58 sli le
with usb/sata3 and it will be mine ^_^

[WaterFlex]

Wow, thanks for this, great news!

[Etihtsarom]

Hum, I would have thought X68 destined for Sandybridge next year. What was the time line from P35 to X58 about a year and a half or so no?

[Chrono Detector]

Does anybody know that X68 will use the existing 1366 socket or based on a new one? Hopefully it will still use 1366.

[ajaidev]

Most likely it will be 1366 since i9 is also 1366...

[Blacky]

About time, I was beginning to think X58 would stay fooooooreeeeveerrrrr!!!

*crosses fingers for 12x qpi multi on X68*

Total speculations... Of course they are coming, but they are unsure when and with what features (except for obvious new SATA and USB).

[PatRaceTin]

it will come in 2011

[sxs112]

X68 with Socket LGA 2011

Was just about to ask whats gonna be the new features X68 will bring to the table.
I guess I wouldn't wanna hear the "Oh noes, X58 can do that" by then.

So 2011 then, thank God, at least my R2G can have its 1st b-day before the brother arrives. LOL

[Levish]

i think there's a new pci-e stanard in there too 32x? hopefully that just means more lanes or something along those lines. Q2 should be interesting
