From TechSpot:

Last September Intel unveiled its highly regarded Core i5 processor along with the new LGA1156 platform, delivering a brand new chipset aimed at the all-important mainstream market. As you learned from our previous coverage the Core i5 700 and Core i7 800 parts are based on the “Lynnfield” architecture, while the Intel P55 chipset goes by the codename “Ibex Peak”.

Despite having just released this platform, Intel has set a shipment goal of one million Lynnfield processors by the end of 2009. You do the math, that gives them short of four months to make the mark. With so many parts expected to ship by year’s end, it stands to reason that just as many compatible motherboards will be moved as well.
