Intel Bearlake And ICH9 Chipsets
 

Intel's most recent desktop roadmap has a new chipset edition, Bearlake. Bearlake is the next generation family of Northbridges, designed to replace the Q965, P965 and G965 Broadwater chipset family. Intel has no chipset on its roadmap to replace i975X.

Like the upcoming 965 family slated for release this July, Bearlake will come in three flavors: "Q," "P" and "G." "Q" will be the stable mid-to-low end series, "P" will be the mid-to-high end series and "G" will be the integrated graphics core.
