Rumor – Intel X48 Express chipset to support DDR3-1600MHz Memory
By
The Intel Express X48 is an upgraded version of the X38 chipset. It will show up at the end of the year with motherboard makers to begin delivering X48 motherboards to shelves in the first quarter of 2008. The X48 eventually will come with the same chip design as the X38 but will support 1600MHz FSB and DDR3-1600 memory
Board makers will not be required to change any design work of X38-based motherboards since the X38 and X48 chipsets will use the same PCB (printed circuit board), said the sources, noting that the X38 could also support 1600MHz FSB and DDR3-1600 memory after overclocking.
