Intel's Lynnfield Core i5/Core i7 officially launched today, and with review sites no longer bound by a non-disclosure agreement, the wraps are officially off the P55 chipset motherboards needed for the new CPUs. While we have been seeing previews of P55 boards for quite some time, we can now look at some real performance numbers with boards from ASUS and MSI in today's roundup. Of course, we also have a separate roundup of the Lynnfield Core i5 and i7 processors today as well.
