Asus' Core i5 ROG motherboard pixellized

Asus' P55 Maximus III Formula crown jewel

We managed to score a few new pictures of Asus' top of the line P55 Maximus III Formula motherboard. This socket LGA1156 motherboard supports Intel's upcoming Core i5 processors and features Asus' recognizable black/red Republic of Gamers color scheme.

The rest of the features include four dual-channel DDR3 memory slots, three PCI-Express x16 slots, two plain PCI and two PCI-E x1 slots. The first PCI-E x1 slot will of course be used by bundled Asus sound card.

Asus has made sure that all the heatsinks are quite low so there should not be any problem with clearance for both graphics cards and large CPU coolers. The single IDE and and six SATA slots are also angled and Asus apparently made sure that those little design details are perfect. In addition to six angled SATA connectors Asus has supplied two more near the edge of the board.

The back panel includes eSATA, Firewire, Ethernet and bunch of USB ports. The motherboard comes with bunch of on board buttons, including Power, Reset and Clear CMOS, as well as a single button that Asus still has to explain once the motherboard is officially announced.

Without further delay, here are the promised pictures of Asus' P55 crown jewel.

mene samo zanima koliko će koštati neki i5 na 2,66 (ono početni) quad i neka ploča takođe početna ali dobra npr. biostar t-power P55. znam da niko ne može tako nešto trenutno da mi odgovori, ali kontam da će biti dosta skuplje od phenoma 955 i neke 790FX ploče.

 

[Pike]

Meni se licno mnogo vise svidja ova ASUS ploca, ova ROG mi nekako paljevinska ovako crevena i nepotrebno prenabudzena.

i3 = 775
i5 = 1156
i7 = 1366

i3 lowend, i5 midend, i7 highend nebitno za socket (1156 i 1366)

pretpostavljam da ce i3 biti clarkdale (dual core sa i bez HT), i5 lynnfield bez turbo i HT, i7 full lynnfield i bloomfield

 

[milanbb]

Nvidia's brand system now looks sane compared to this..

Ili je Intel PR spetljan ko sarma, ili tu neko nije nesto dobro razumeo.

Razmisljam se o ovom scenariJu: 775 ce ostati jos 6-12 meseci, 1156 ce biti mainstream u okviru kog ce biti tri 'klase' i3, i5, i i7 a 1366 ide medj servere i zvace se NEi7 (xeon?)...

Iz najave ne mogu da izvucem nikakav drugi >logican< sled dogadjaja.

Cini se da je Anand to malo bolje skapirao

Prva Maximus formula koju sam imao bila je 3X lepsa od ove kicerice. :smash:

A sto se tice ove PRO sta ocekujes od ploce koja ne treba da ima NB, jel treba da stave 24+ fazno napajanje i kojekakve nepotrebne pajlevinske budalastine u sto drecavijoj boji ?

Nije mi jasno zasto neke imaju NB a neke ne ?

Ma sve (P55) ploce imaju jedan chipset, tj. NB i SB je u jednom chipu ali sigurno ovde(Gigabyte P55-UD4P) neki drug chip ima pasivni hladnjak dole ispod memorijskih modula.

ASUS P7P55 EVO Detailed
ASUS' P7P55 series includes the company's mainstream-thru-premium motherboards based on Intel P55 chipset, supporting LGA-1156 socket processors. Following the recent exposé of its little sibling the P7P55 Pro, XFastest took the higher-end P7P55 EVO for a photo-shoot. This motherboard retains its lesser sibling's feature-set for the most part, except for additional connectivity. The CPU is powered by a 14-phase power circuit. Additional power management is provided by the ASUS EPU chip. The expansion slots include three PCI-Express x16 slots.

The first two arrange as (x8, x8) electrically, while the third one is electrical x4. Two PCI-E x1 and two legacy PCI slots make for the rest of the expansion. The connectivity options of this board will include support for SATA III. Apart from the six SATA ports the P55 PCH provides, an additional Marvell 88SE9123 two-port PCI-E SATA III controller is present, which also provides an IDE connector. Apart from the 8-channel audio, Firewire, and 14 USB ports in all, there are two gigabit Ethernet controllers.

The centerpiece of the showroom was without a doubt the hotly anticipated new GA-EP55 motherboard series. GIGABYTE had four nearly production-ready P55 motherboards on the display for the upcoming Intel Lynnfield LGA1156 processors. As expected, this new EP55 series utilizes the Ultra Durable 3 technology that was first introduced with the EP45 series, namely the 2 oz copper PCB, long-lasting Japanese capacitors, and Lower RDS(on) MOSFETs, and robust ferrite core chokes.



First, let's start off with the lower mid-range EP55-UD3P. This models sports a 12-phase power delivery system, two mechanical PCI-E 2.0 x16 slots, two Marvell SATA 6Gb/s ports, six standard SATA 2 ports, two eSATA/USB combo ports, two gigabit Smart LAN ports, fourteen USB 2.0 ports, Smart TPM functionality, Dynamic Energy Saver 2, and the new Smart 6 utilities package. This model also sports an Open NAND Flash Interface (ONFI) slot, which can you identify above the white IDE connector. It is unlikely that the ONFI interface will remain on any of the retail motherboards since the P55 chipset does not support it...or so we have been told thus far. For those who don't know, ONFI should function in a similar manner to Vista's ReadyBoost, but provide greatly improved performance (~200MB/s) and memory sizes should be large enough to accomodate an operating system.

Although not on display, GIGABYTE will also manufacture an EP55-UD3R, which will lack the Smart TPM feature which will be positioned below the UD3P.

Many of you are probably wondering why this motherboard (and the one's below) appear to have two chipset coolers, since the Intel P55 Express "Ibex Peak" chipset is a single-chip design. The cooler in the traditional southbridge location is actually there to help cool down the notoriously hot running SATA controller(s).




Fundamentally speaking, the EP55-UD4 and EP55-UD4P are identical motherboards, with the only difference being the UD4's lack of Smart TPM functionality. They differ from their lower-end brethren by the inclusion of three mechanical PCI-E 2.0 x16 slots, an improved SATA controller cooler, four Marvell SATA 6Gb/s ports, and onboard power & reset buttons.



Barring a possible Extreme model down the line, the GA-EP55-UD5 represents the pinnacle of GIGABYTE's EP55 series motherboards. Although similar to the UD4/UD4P model, the EP55-UD55 does have two very attention-catching features. First, it has an unprecedented 24-phase power design, which may sound like overkill but we'll see what the advantages are once we get one in-lab. Second, this is the only P55 motherboard that has been shown to have six DDR3 memory lots, which is a feature that more and more power users are looking for in a high-end motherboard.



Located between the SATA cooler and the memory slots, GIGABYTE's engineers have installed the ONFI flash memory directly onto the EP55-UD5's PCB. This is likely a temporary design, as the engineers are still testing whether onboard memory has any worthwhile performance benefits over the standard ONFI slot. Also, let us not forget the aforementioned fact that the P55 chipset does not (yet) officially support the ONFI interface. It will however be supported by the upcoming P57 chipset, which is pin-compatible with the P55 chipset and thus will be a simple drop-in solution for motherboard manufacturers.


So when can we expect these motherboards to be available? Well that obviously depends on when Intel decides to launch their Lynnfield LGA 1156 "yet-to-be-named-but-not-Core-i5" processors, but expect an early September launch date.

The high-end P55 model

In addition to the P55-GD65, MSI is working on yet another P55 based motherboard that is much better and has some quite unique features previously unseen on motherboards, the P55-GD80.

The P55-GD65 which we seen before was quite good, but the P55-GD80 looks even more interesting and quite unique, at least as far as the feature goes. The details are still scarce as this one is still not finalized as well, but a picture has given us quite a few details.

It will be cooled by the same SuperPipe cooling that we have seen on P55-GD65 but this time it has a larger heatsink that has to cover the 8+2-phase VRM. It still supports dual-channel DDR3 memory and this one has three PCI-Express x16 2.0 slots, thanks to the Nvidia nForce 200 bridge chip.

In addition to the regular six SATA II ports, this one also has an additional controller for extra two internal, one eSATA and one IDE port. The backpanel is also quite crowded with two PS/2 ports for keyboard and mouse, one Coaxial and one Optical S/PDIF-out port, seven USB and one eSATA/USB combo port, two Ethernet and six audio ports.

You can notice some interesting feature like dual LED POST display, where the second one is located just above the first PCI-Express slot and which should show a CPU Phase status, GreenPower, Reset and Power on-board "touch" buttons, OC Genie, on board controls for clock speeds, and DIP switch for voltage control. Another interesting feature are the "vcheck" points next to the 24-pin power connector for easy access to motherboard voltages.

In any case, this one looks really interesting and we are sure that we will hear more about this one once these P55 based motherboards start hitting the market. You can find more details here.

ASUS P7P55D EVO Picture Preview

The first motherboard of many to come is the ASUS P7P55D EVO that is destined for the mid-range of ASUS’ extensive P55 lineup that covers every market sector from entry level to the enthusiast level ROG boards. Final pricing is not yet available but based on chipset pricing and market conditions, expect to see P55 boards starting around $120 and rapidly hitting the $239 mark at launch. This particular motherboard will probably end up in the $160~$180 sector based on the feature set and options.

Biostar's Intel P55 Lineup Detailed
With Intel's LGA-1156 Ibex-Peak platform weeks away from launch, like most major motherboard vendors, Biostar its compatible motherboard lineup ready, top to bottom. The company has at least three motherboards based on the Intel P55 chipset for the first wave, two in its mid-range T-Series, and one high-end T-Power series. The lineup starts with the T-Series T5 XE, continues with T-Series TP55 XE, and ends with the T-Power I55.

The T-Series T5 XE is a low-frills model that relies on the chipset's stock feature-set for the most part. The CPU is powered by a 4+2 phase power circuit, and the memory by a 2-phase circuit. The expansion slots are standard issue, two PCI-E 2.0 x16 slots that are electrically x8 when both are populated with video cards, two each of PCI-E x1 and legacy PCI, six SATA II ports routed to the chipset, an additional controller driving the IDE, one gigabit Ethernet connection, and 8-channel audio. Simple anodized aluminum heatsinks cool the chipset and a portion of the board's VRM area.

The TP55 XE builds on the feature-set of its little sibling with a larger, differently laid-out PCB. It features a 4+4 phase CPU power circuit, has angled SATA II ports, a PCI-E x4 slot to replace one of the PCI-E x1 slots, a FireWire controller, optical and co-axial digital I/O connections for the onboard audio, anodized aluminum heatsinks over the chipset and complete coverage for the CPU VRM area. Interestingly, you see a cosmetic heatsink placeholder, something that gets occupied in the next model, the TPower I55.

The TPower I55 is Biostar's premium offering, and features high-grade components along with possible exclusive overclocker-friendly features. The CPU is powered by a lavish 12-phase power circuit, with 3-phase power for the four DDR3 memory slots. It further builds on the feature-set of the TP55 XE, with debug LEDs, CrossFireX and SLI support, two gigabit Ethernet connections, and an additional controller providing two eSATA ports apart from the six internal ports routed to the P55 PCH. To give it an exclusive feel, the black PCB goes with an elaborate set of heatsinks interconnected by heatpipes. Between the heatsinks over the P55 PCH and the VRM is a cosmetic heatsink. While this doesn't directly cool any hot component, it helps the other heatsinks dissipate heat. Biostar's lineup will be up for grabs in the first half of September.

The high-end Core i7 branded chips will share sockets LGA 1366 for the Bloomfield quad-core 8-thread chips and LGA 1156 for the Lynnfield quad-core 8-thread chips. Core i7 Bloomfield chips launched in November use the Core i7 9xx modifier, while Core i7 Lynnfield chips will use the Core i7 8xx modifier.

The Core i5 performance-level brand will share both Lynnfield quad-core 4-thread chips and Clarkdale dual-core 4-thread chips that are yet to be announced. The entire brand will be operating on socket LGA 1156. As for the Core i3 entry-level brand, it will consist of all Clarkdale dual-core 4-thread chips that are yet to be announced. Finally, at the very bottom will be Pentium branded Clarkdale dual-core 2-thread chips running on LGA 1156 that are yet to be announced.

Intel Core i5 and New i7 Processors Dated and Priced

Core i5's have been highly anticipated for quite some time. Now, some new details have emerged, revealing Intel's processor launch plans for the following months.

September will see the debut of the Core i5's mainstream Nehalem processors, as well as some new Core i7's.

Core i5-750 will run at 2.66 GHz, and with its auto-overclocking ability, it can be pushed to 3.2 GHz when applications demand so and as long as it won't overheat the processor. The 750 will support DDR3 memory running up to 1333 MHz. Additionally, it'll contain 8MB of L3 cache, like all Nehalems. The 750 will also support virtualization, but only as far as aiding virtual machines - Intel's VT-x technology.

The new i7-860 and i7-870 will be clocked at 2.8 GHz and 2.93 GHz respectively, though they can overclock to 3.46 GHz and 3.60 GHz. Both will also use hyperthreading to double the logical core to 8. Additionally, the new i7's will support VT-d, an extension of Intel's virtualization that will give virtual machines direct access to the host's I/O subsystem.

All three processors will have a power envelope of 95W. They'll go on sale on September 6, with Core i5-750, Core i7-860, and Core i7-870 costing $196, $284, and $562 respectively.

The rest of the Core i5 family will debut in Q1 2010.

More Core i5 Details leaked

So with all the news about the P55, and the next generation of the X58 (complete with a few USB 3.0 ports) it is nice to get some news on the pending release of the Core i5 and the 1156 Version of the Core i7.

According to some new information we have some specifications and even pricing for the new CPUs.

If the details put together by HKEPC is correct the entry level Core i5 750 will be a little under $200. I will run at 2.66 Ghz, feature 8MB L3 cache, and will have four Cores but will lack HyperThreading.

The entry level Core i7 860 for Socket 1156 will run a cool $284. It will run at 2.8 GHz, feature Four Core and HyperThreading, and will match the Core i5 for cache size.

The top end Core i7 for 1156 will be the 870. This will be a 2.93GHz part that will set you back $562 and should match the other Core i7 for specs otherwise.

All three of these should be out on September 6th.

The question is; will the 1156 socket take off? With the removal of the Marvell SATA 6G controller from the P55 boards, the lack of USB 3.0 and the unknowns on performance over the existing Core 2 CPUs could leave many waiting to buy. We can only hope that the Core i5 and new main stream Core i7 CPUs will have a better acceptance than the original Core i7 did.

Sad su tek zprzili corbu, ko ne prati tesko ce se u ovome snaci. Mogu da zamislim neke nase prodavce/prodavacice. :wall:
Glavni zadatak bice im koliko memorija naruciti za odredjeni procesor.

Sta li ce im i7 na LGA 1156 ? Da bi bio dual channel ?
Vise bih voleo da i5 ima HyperThreading i to je to, a i7 ostaje na svom socket-u.

 

[topuz]

Bas su zakuvali sa nomenklaturom, trebace jos koji mesec da sve legne na svoje. I na prvi pogled mi je skupo, ponadao sam se da ce mozda biti neki HT-enabled Lynnfield u klasi od oko 200$, al' nista od toga.

Da li ovo znaci da ce se jedan brend (Core i7) pojavljivati na dva razlicita socket-a, odn. u verzijama za LGA1156 i LGA1366? To mi uopste ne deluje logicno na duge staze.

 

[illidan]

zasto?

brend i7 oznacava highend, a ne socket

 

[topuz]

Naravno da oznacava high-end, ali ne oznacava samo high-end. Nelogicno mi je da jedan proizvod koji vec, je li, predstavlja high-end spustaju u nesto sto bi trebalo da bude mainstream. Pogotovo sto to sa tobom nosi paralelni trzisni zivot dva procesora koja ce imati ime i7, od kojih ce jedan imati LGA1366 i triple channel memorijski kontroler, dok ce drugi imati LGA1156, dual channel i integrisani PCIE kontroler. Intel je kroz istoriju davao razlicita imena procesorima i zbog mnogo manjih razlika, mogili su i sad nesto normalnije da smisle.

Mene licno boli uvo da li ce da se zove i7 ili G17+, kupicu ono sto mi odgovara, ali me ne bi cudilo da se sutra jave slucajevi da "strucnjaci" kupe i7 za LGA1366 i P55 plocu pa da posle kukaju.

pa zna se recimo da je core i7 920 1366 a core i7 870 1156 ne mozes pogresiti ni da hoces

btw koje je razlika izmedju Phenom II X2 i Athlon II X2? isti socket a dva imena zasto

 

[topuz]

@Illidan: Sa Athlonima X2 i Phenomima II X2 je druga prica, Regor i Callisto se dovoljno razlikuju da se razlicito pozicioniraju i dobiju razlicita imena. Jedno je kada na odredjenom socketu ima vise serija procesora (na LGA775 smo npr. imali sve zivo pocev od Celerona, Pentiuma, Core-ova svih mogucih itd.), a nesto drugo kada jedan procesor seta sa socketa na socket. Lynnfield i Bloomfield i7 povrh svega nisu isti procesori i smatram da puko ukljucivanje HT-a i virtuelizacije nije presudan faktor koji i5 treba da diferencira od i7.
