Introduction
It’s been almost 2 month since Intel launched LGA1156 socket on 8th Sep. The new platform product line and market position are clearer. LGA1156 is still focus in between high end and middle end
CPU has 3 models so far. The highest is i7-870 and middle is i7-860. They both support HT which make Quad core CPU can simulate 8 cores. i5-750 doesn’t support HT and it’s the most entry model now. The price is around 200USD
MB Chipset is P55 and all MB makers also launched the products at the same time Currently, the P55 MB price is between 160~280 USD. If you want to buy LGA 1156 platform, i5-750 plus 160USD P55 MB is the best C/P. Certainly, if you need HT and also affordable, you also can consider i7-860. Merely, i7-860 price is very close to LGA1366 platform
The MB this time is GIGABYTE GA-P55-UD3P, price is $160. This is entry price level for P55 MB so far.
The Board
First of all, it’s the package. UD3P is not GIGABYTE high end series, so the box is not so big
