From Trusted Reviews:
A few weeks ago we took our first look at a P55 motherboard, the Asus P7P55 Pro.
However, we didn't have the opportunity to actually play with the thing
properly, much less put a new Intel Core i5 CPU in it and get it up and
running. Well, a few days ago Asus once again contacted us and offered
us a sneak peek at another of its boards and this time we could
actually plug the thing in and get a system going.
Core i5, if you recall, is Intel's brand new lineup of CPUs, expected
to arrive in the next couple of months, that are based on the same
basic architecture as Core i7
but with a few tweaks to make it less expensive. Specifically the
memory controller has been cut-down to dual channel rather than triple
channel and QPI has been replaced with DMI.
