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 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.

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.

Can't wait for the P45. If DDR3 comes down to sane price levels by Winter, that + P45 + 45nm Quad = Nehalem? What's that? (at least for a good 3-4 years anyway, I hope).GTaudiophile - Tuesday, March 4, 2008 - link
I am glad you are finally able to enjoy the country that I "represent" on a daily basis through my work.If you like it now, go back in July! Nothing like drinking a beer while sitting at some nice outdoor restaurant along the Rhine river on a summer's evening, waiting for the sun to go down at 10:30 PM!
If you have time, take a short trip eastward to Wolfsburg, home of Volkswagen's Autostadt (Car city, http://www.autostadt.de/portal/site/www/template.P...">http://www.autostadt.de/portal/site/www/template.P.... If you do that, take the high-speed ICE train. It will only take you about 30 minutes and trains leave several times an hour.
Otherwise, enjoy the beer and white wine. My guess is you are vegetarian, so try the Spätzle. If not, Germany has a lot of good pork products. But if you get tired of that, be sure to try Turkish and Greek cuisine. Both are done very well in Germany. Most Italian and French restaurants are also great. I personally avoid the German interpretation of most Asian/Spanish/Mexican restaurants.
Viel Spaß!
