The DP67BG is the new Intel ‘gamers board' with support for both ATI CrossFire and nVidia SLI configurations. The DP67BG is built around the new Intel P67 Express Chipset which supports both Core i5 and i7 processors in the LGA1155 package. This is an ATX board design.
With Intel Extreme Memory Profiles, DDR3 speeds of 1600mhz or higher are achievable.
2 USB 3.0 ports can be seen at the rear, with another 8 USB 2.0 ports offering high levels of connectivity (it can support up to 14 USB 2.0 devices via internal headers). There is also an eSATA port and an Integrated 10/100/1000 Intel network connection. Ten Channel Intel high definition audio with multi streaming capability features on the right. Five stack analog audio ports, one optical S/PDIF out, internal S/PDIF header and front panel audio header.
There is a single 16x PCI Express 2.0 connector onboard with the ability to scale to dual 8x graphics supporting both ATI and nVidia CFx and SLI configurations. The board is equipped with two Sata 6.0 GB/s ports (blue) with four Sata 3.0 GB/s ports (black). Intel's Rapid Storage Technology is utilised, offering Raid 0,1,5 and 10 support. Both voltage regulator and ePower voltage regulator are passive cooled to allow for improved power and voltage delivery. A handy post code decoder is offered to troubleshoot potential problems.
Wow, those are mega processors. have to get me one
Great article and they really are good improvements. poor amd 🙁
These are certainly impressive, especially considering the price points they have achieved, which I certainlyw asnt expecting.
Compared to the last generation they have certainly delivered much faster processors. I wasnt expecting such huge gains
That ASRock fatal1ty board looks stunning doesnt it ? Very impressive overall platform from everyone involved.
Thumbs up from me. waiting in line like everyone else for my chip now 🙂
Those intel boards are really nice designs, they seem to getting better and better as the years and releases continue.
Well I had almost bought a 1100T from AMd, and now I really don’t know what to do 🙁 these are so damn good and the price points are excellent. the 1100T costs around the same as the 2600K and it wont really go past 4.3ghz.
There is a clear reason Intel are market leaders, and this is a good showcase of why.
Excellent, count me in when I get the funds up.
AMD need to answer this with something good in 2011, but I am not sure they can anymore. I remember the good old days of FX processors when they led the way. whatever happened 🙁
not that much faster than the 2010 core cpu’s people who say they are are complete idiots on avg perormance increase is about 10%
Francis, you’re completely wrong, it’s not that much faster at all, it’s anywhere between -5( meaning slower) to +10 as john already stated
