Some sneak peek shots of upcoming motherboards floating around the intarwebs today. First we've got shots of Foxconn's Quantum Force Avenger over at TweakTown. This will be Foxconns' enthusiast class P45-based motherboard, & is chock-full of goodies like easy access voltage measurement points.

The second sneaky-peek is over at Fudzilla, where they've snapped a shot of an AMD 790GX engineering sample. This will be the fastest IGP around when the boards hit the streets. The new boarsd will also bring AMD's newest SB750 southbridge to the table.

Expect to see both of these in early June. Computex, anyone?

The guys at the Inq got an up-close look at HP's 8-socket, 32-core Barcelona-based monster. The thing's a beast, & may just give AMD something to live on until next year.

"Faced with the 'Beckton' 8-core MP Nehalems some five quarters from now, HP will still give a level playing field to both Intel and AMD in this high end space. Of course, it does assume smooth 'Shanghai', 'Montreal', 'Istanbul' and other major city delivery by AMD in the meantime."

The Madshrimps guys pit a Q9300 against a Phenom 9850 to see which mainstream quad-core chip pwnz the hardest.

"Which one gives you more performance for the buck? Answering this question is not as straightforward as you might think."

Well, if it really is delayed, I wonder what the links that were floating all over the net yesterday were for? I followed the herd & downloaded & installed the linked pack. My PC properties do say SP3... so....? Maybe it's just "delayed" but done, & not recommended for RMS customers?
