Intel X48 sampling now

@ 2007/10/03

Intel is meant to start sampling its upcoming X48 chipset to motherboard manufacturers this week according to information we've got. There's still some three months before motherboards based on the new chipset will be available.

Interestingly, none of the motherboard manufacturers we've talked to seem to know anything about this chipset, or maybe we've just not talked to the right people.

shhh, I can dream can't I?

X48 is going to be obsolete pretty quickly too, soon as Nehalem arrives...

Because X48 will be too expensive for words

It's the same as selling a CPU for more just because it has higher stock clocks. But as stockowner I really like that idea to get more money from the people

X48 is just rebinning of X38 for higher performance, or so I've heard.

Nevertheless looking forward to it...
