Has there been any official confirmation that p67/h67 support Ivy Bridge?

I know Fudzilla (hah) said that it will with just a bios update, but has anyone seen anything official from an Intel rep or at least some trusted source?

Seems like all of the sources point back to Fudzilla, and if you can't trust them, who can you trust ;]. I haven't seen anything official from anyone else though.

Since Ivy Bridge is mainly just a dye shrink for Sandy Bridge, I'd expect they'd still use the same boards.

Doubt it. Historically, Intel always shoved new mobos for CPU upgrades. Even if they do it for Ivy Bridge, it likely to be heavily crippled.

there was article (few weeks back) in Tom's hardware that confirmed Ivy Bridge to be 1155 socket
another one;

Well, Tom's is better than Fudzilla, but... I would love to be proven wrong by Intel. 🙂

What do you mean? LGA775? (Genuinely interested.)

They don't for ticks (i.e. i5 6xx, i3 5xx, i7 hex core) like Ivy Bridge.

"Dye" shrink. I'd like a blue colored chip this time. 😀

Yes it has a high chance of being compatible forwards and backwards.
