Asustek Enables 1600MHz Processor Bus on Intel X38 Platforms

Asustek Computer plans to enable 1600MHz quad pumped processor system bus on its mainboards based on Intel X38 core-logic, whereas earlier it was rumoured that Intel only intends to enable such speed bin for Intel X48 platform. Given that the world’s largest maker of mainboards would hardly compromise stability of its products, it is unclear why Intel preps two platforms with generally similar features.
