Asus P5Q Deluxe P45 Motherboard with DDR2 @ HotHardware.com

news · May 20, 2008

Hello Everyone,

As many of you are no doubt aware, Intel is planning to officially release a

new mainstream chipset in a few weeks, the P45. From a feature standpoint,

the new P45 is somewhat similar to last year's P35. The P45, however, will

have official support for PCI Express 2.0, with a more flexible lane

configuration for multi-GPU graphics, and the chipset itself is being

manufactured at 65nm as opposed to 90nm. Using the more advanced process to

build the chips should result in lower power consumption and lower operating

temperatures as well. The P45 will also be paired up with a new

ICH10-series southbridge, which is similar to the ICH9 sans a few legacy

features.

Asus showed off a few P45-based motherboards at the CeBit show a while back,

but at the time, the boards weren't quite ready for the market. We have,

however, gotten our hands on final production version of the Asus P5Q

Deluxe, which should be available soon. Head on over to the site and check

it out...
