Intel will eliminate the models 'P' from its lineup of chipset

After that Intel somehow "put a piece" in the case of the P67 chipset with a new revision of it and now burned in the market, decided to bring out a solution with all-new model Z68, things seem to turn towards towards the complete elimination of the models 'P' from the line-up of the chipset. After 2011, the Santa Clara company will no longer produce chipsets series 'P' but will keep the letters 'H' for entry-level solutions, the letters 'Z' for those that provide functionality for overclocking both the CPU for GPU and the letter 'X' for the motherboard chipsets for high-end, with prices in excess of € 200.


But without prejudice to the abbreviations and names, there have been additional information that we consider interesting. History has taught as AMD was almost always have to follow the decisions of the giant Intel, at least until recently. Today the situation is quite reversed: the inclusion of a DX11 graphics core in Ivy Bridge, the desire to create a layer of collaboration between the integrated GPU and discrete graphics card and if the possibility of reducing the price of the Core i7 CPU to counter 2600k 'arrival of the bulldozer FX models of 8-cores are just some examples.
