P965 intel conroe chipset
THE LARGEST HUM in the Halls of Old Taipei is coming from the motherboard engineers.
It mutters the word Intel, and the real reason why Conroe is being launched on third week of July, while it is, in fact, all ready to go to market.
The reason for the delay is the paper-launch of the P965 and Q965 chipsets, which aren't ready for mass production. Yet. The PCB designs are ready, engineering samples are overclocking like hell – but there are no production chipsets available, it seems.
When all the news about P965 and wonderful Vista-ready Q965 comes to town - around 3PM Taipei time tomorrow (June 7th) from that press conference in the heights of Taipei 101 and when all the reviews start flooding in, you'll know when you'll be able buy one.
On Conroe's launch date, July 23rd
