CeBIT 2007 - Foxconn DDR3-based P35

Wednesday 14th March 2007, 11:11:00 PM, written by Rys

Part of Intel's next round of core logic updates, and with support for DDR3 (and DDR2) memory and 45nm quad-core processors, Intel P35 has also been confirmed to support Crossfire, at least if Foxconn's documentation for their P357AB-8EKRS2H DDRIII is to be believed.

Comprising P35 northbridge and ICH9R southbridge, this particular board looks to be aimed squarely at the enthusiast, although just when we'll see it -- and indeed commercial availability of DDR3-based DRAM products from the usual memory vendors -- is anyone's guess at this point.

'2* PCIe x16 with Dual Graphics supports' is what give it away, and we've got another story on the way which shows Crossfire support a bit more graphically.
