Intel '09 Roadmap Revealed, Part 2

At this point we have some useful data – we already know what is coming and what expected prices are going to be like. Of course final pricing may deviate from what is projected from Intel http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Corporation at this point depending on the current market at the time of release. On-top of all of this, Nvidia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia enthusiasts will now have more freedom when it comes to a choice of boards.
