When you all undoubtedly know Intel lately published the first CPU+GPU hybrid processors on the trade in the kind of the Clark dale LGA1156 family, which is contained of the i5-600 series, i3-500 series, and Pentium G6000 series. These new sorts cater to the conventional PC market, with a lean towards budget systems and home theater PC's . specific, these are the chips that Intel designs to change the old Core 2 Duo series with.

With the issue of the processors, Intel also revealed three new chip sets . The two chip sets that users are probably to find in the retail market are the H55 Express and H57 Express. For all limit and purpose, both chip sets are same, with the H57 discerning itself from the H55 with 2 extra USB 2.0 ports and 2 additional PCI-E x1 slots.

When almost all H55 motherboards are sub-$150 models, the H57 chip set has afforded motherboard producers a reason to make some higher-end motherboards boasting more PCI-E x16 slots, SATA 6Gb/s and USB 3.0. The P7H57D-V EVO is one this product.

As planning a premium motherboard across an cheap processor series might look counter-productive, the easy reality of the matter is that most Clark dale's actually aren't that cheap, still that hasn't blocked them from selling well.

The P7H57D-V EVO is cost more along the lines of a in full featured P55 motherboard. This creates sense while later this model has just the same set up and feature set as the $200CAD P7P55D-E PRO, and can also support the Lynn field LGA1156 processors.
