Core logic development has been stagnant since the .. umm ... nForce4 (PCI-E for AMD, single-chip design, SLI, 10 USB ports, integrated Gigabit NIC with acceleration -total failure-, etc) with some exceptions (the latest IGP from AMD and the embedded/low-power market)

When are you guys going to start measuring CPU utilization normalized by performance? It should be in CPU per Gbps for ethernet, CPU per MBps for SATA and FireWire, etc. I don't care if chip X has triple the CPU usage while going ten times faster. In fact, that seems desirable. The way you present it now, I have to do the math in my head.

I wonder what's up with ICH9R's gig-e going completely unused by manufacturers. Is there some untold story there?

Basically another Ho Hum chipset. My old Gigabyte GA965P-DS3 will do 1600 FSB so the X48 has basically nothing to offer me.

Didn't read the article yet.

In a nutshell, X48 = X38 Revision 1.1 with "official" 1600Mhz FSB support.

Edit: Read article and it is confirms what I knew about X48.

$300 just for a 1600MHz FSB? Looks like Intel is acting like AMD doesn't exist anymore. Can't wait till AMD ramps the Phenom's speeds and combines them with cheap AMD chipset based boards. Hopefully it catches Intel with their pants down, like the Athlon64 did once before. Like Microsoft, Intel's biggest competitor is it's own arrogance.

The combination of a blue board with copper heatsinks may look fantastic, but the combination of hot pink and electric green on the DIMM slots is anything but "easy on the eyes."

Are those really little piston icons in their monitoring app?

Im glad to see high quality components in a mobo but don't think i would pay more for such little difference in power consumption.
