According to rumors, manufacturers of motherboards are going to update their models, made on the basis of chipset P55. Apparently, manufacturers are preparing to release boards based on P55 interfaces with support for USB 3.0 and SATA 6Gbit / sec. This step is not surprising, since many users complained about the lack of SATA 6Gbit / s in the recently introduced motherboards with P55. But no one has complained about the price of models on P55, which is surprisingly accessible.

Obviously, the producers have many opportunities to modernize the payment of P55, making them slightly more expensive than existing models. In the near future devices will start to appear to support USB 3.0 and SATA 6Gbit / s, and there is no doubt that on motherboards that can provide such opportunities will be in great demand even at slightly higher prices. Keep in mind that the P55 chipset is not able to provide sufficient capacity to take full advantage of interfaces, USB 3.0 and SATA 6Gbit / s, but in any case, the expected performance boost quite significant. In this future motherboards based on X58 chipset will support the new standards without compromising performance.

Of course, motherboard manufacturers have already discussed a similar upgrade for design of circuit boards, so adding new features should be fairly easy. However, some companies will use an even easier way. They just put the supplied PCIe x4 expansion card with two USB 3.0 ports, and voila, users can quickly obtain the new interface is USB 3.0. The cases of motherboards with support for USB 3.0 and SATA 6Gbit / s will be a special sticker, which probably makes them a little more attractive to users. Unfortunately, not yet known when the market will be new motherboards.
