X48 to trump X38

X48 chipset

Intel has just released details on the new X48 chipset, due out Q1 2008, and motherboard production companies are expecting this to hurt current x38 chipset sales. The X48 Chipset is the first official chipset from Intel to fully support DDR3 only. This is expected to be a benchmark/enthusiast product and Intel isn’t worried about it affecting X38 sales. Considering the current price of DDR3 memory, and the lack of low latency DIMMs,
I don’t see X48 hindering X38 sales either.
