Since the first chipsets of family bearlake will be announced already during May of this year, there is nothing surprising in the fact that the motherboard models on their base already exist. such motherboards fell in the hands of the Chilean associates .
Motherboard is based on the discrete chipset intel p35, which will ensure support to the DDR 2-800 or DDR 3-800/1066. On the differences between the modules DDR-2 and DDR- 3 we already said: although the quantity of contacts remained as before (240 pieces) and the supply voltage is reduced from 1.8 to 1.5 v. thus, physically modules DDR-2 and DDR- 3 were incompatible .
in the motherboard shown by associates there was another special feature: since to realize the simultaneous support of slots DIMM with different type ( DDR-2 and DDR- 3) is sufficiently expensive, in the model photographs there is only support to DDR 3-800/1066 .
LGA 775 socket remained as before, simply on motherboards based on chipset series bearlake it is possible to install 45 NM processors generation penryn. However, there is some hope, that motherboard on the base of chipsets series x965 will also support penryn processors.
The chipset intel p35 has the official support of processors with 1333 MHz system bus, which Asus and Gigabyte already realized on the existing generation motherboard . The models Of core 2 Duo with the official support 1333 MHz system bus will be released only in the third quarter of this year. It will be based on new stepping E0, which will support technology TXT (La grande).
According to some estimations, in the present year the memory of type DDR- 3 will not receive wide distribution; therefore the majority of motherboard on the base chipsets family bearlake, most likely will support DDR-2. Related Products :
