For sure with latest processors also come with latest motherboard chipsets. For the consumer desktop side of the market you will generally get see two Sandy Bridge related chipsets, H68 for the more generic wine, mainstream and HTPC usage, and then the P67 chipset as a operational part for the latest motherboards series. Today each and every motherboard ODM jumped on P67 as well, it's just a goodness of a distribute of fun.

And the ODMs had sentence to preparing their P67 alright, most of the designs were just finished by late Summer 2010, everybody just required to wait for Intel to launch the processor that goes along with these motherboards.That extra time was however not a bad thing, it gave more time toR&D sections to rarify their designs and perhaps be a little more creative.
