Intel's 4-Series Chipsets: Everywhere
Despite lacking an official launch, Intel gave motherboard vendors the green light to display motherboards based on its upcoming 4-series chipsets due out in Q2 of this year.
The chipsets are P45, G45, G43, and X48. The G45 chipset includes the new Intel GMA X4500 HD graphics core which adds support for H.264 decode acceleration, something that has been absent from all previous Intel integrated graphics solutions. Hardware H.264 decode acceleration is not included in G43 (the G43 only uses the X4500 GPU, without the HD suffix).
Both the G45 and G43 support HDMI/DVI/Display Port and have dual channel memory controllers, but the G43 only allows 1 DIMM per channel vs. 2 on the G45.
All of these chipsets support 1333MHz FSB and DDR3 up to 1333MHz (except the G43 only supports up to 1066MHz DDR3).
The big feature is that all of these new chipsets are built on Intel's 65nm process for the MCH vs. 90nm for the older 3-series generation. The smaller manufacturing process should mean that they draw much less power.
abit's IP45 based on the P45 chipset
abit's IP45 Pro, also based on the P45 chipset
abit's IX48-MAX based on the Intel X48 chipset
Albatron's PX48 motherboard based on the Intel X48 chipset
ASRock's X48 motherboard
Biostar's T-Power I45 based on the P45 chipset; note the jumpers used to switch between a single PCIe x16 slot and two x8s, all Gen2
Foxconn's G43 based motherboard
And G45 from Foxconn
Foxconn's motherboards are "Green" in that they include power saving techniques such as reducing the number of phases used in their power delivery system during idle periods.

MSI's P45 based P45 Diamond
A closer look at the P45 MCH
We've only shown off a handful of 4-series motherboards here, but their presence at CeBIT was nothing short of impressive. It reminds us of the old days of chipset launches. Intel is definitely looking to migrate quickly to the new 4-series.

I have currently use the nokia N800 witch runs linux and really love it from everything to browsing the internet to reading books to talking on skype to playing emulators.Can't wait for some more touch screen power running linux or windows.

Is the MSI Silverthorne system in a VESA display mount-compatible case? That would actually be pretty handy for some usages.7Enigma - Wednesday, March 5, 2008 - link
With my stereo blarin', playing SOLITARE?!?! :) I'm sorry but I conjured up an image of some pimped-out ride, panel-rattling bass, with a dude in gold chains, playing solitare.I guess when you have make-up applying women on the highway while driving, men reading newspapers while driving, solitare while driving isn't to much of a stretch...

I'd guess they wanted a screenshot that makes it obvious that it is a PC display, not a generic Nav screen that could be any Nav unit or a frontend app that no one recognizes.I was gonna ask if Atom would be available on little motherboards for carputer applications, but I guess the answer is yes.

I like naked painted girls but the girl they used has saggy boobs.I guess I won't be needing any papertowels today while surfing Anandtech ;)

Why was there a picture caption stating that this chipset isn't even released yet? It has been out for a while now. Heck I even have a 780G in my system at home, although I will admit that those are not widespread.IntelUser2000 - Tuesday, March 4, 2008 - link
C7 existed for quite long time. The new core from Via is named CN.ajuez - Tuesday, March 4, 2008 - link
Via C7s have been around since 2005.Is it the C7 processor or the new core unveiled a few weeks ago?
