Intel Eaglelake Pre-Launch Details!

Alright! We have yet again managed to obtain some inside information on the upcoming Intel Eaglelake chipsets for the LGA775 desktop platform.

For starters, Intel will officially launch the Eaglelake series of desktop chipsets on June 2nd, 2008, one day before Computex 2008 kicks off in Taipei, Taiwan. You heard it from us first!

This is confimed information as the Eaglelake chipsets have been in production since the middle of May. Motherboards based on the revision A-2 production silicon have already started shipping although they may not be available at some locales until mid-June. In fact, we saw one of these motherboards just last week. We will have more on this tomorrow.

Update @ June 3rd, 2008 : Intel's Executive Vice President and Chief Sales and Marketing Officer, Sean M. Maloney, today revealed eighty-one motherboards based on the Intel Eaglelake chipset at his Computex keynote speech, now called the Intel 4 Series Express chipset.
