P67 chipset Ivy bridge support.

Hi folks. Just like the title says, do we know whether P67 chipset / LGA1155 will provide full support for Ivy Bridge cpus or NOT?

Some P67 boards will be fully compatible with IB these are confirmed on a manufacturer by manufacturer basis. If you are stressing the "full support" part of your question I am not aware of any major abilites any later 1155 spec boards will have that aren't already on P67 as long as you make sure it is a PCIE GEN 3 board.

My Asus P8P67 Deluxe supports IB with latest BIOS update, but will not support PCIe 3.0, but for now who cares... PCIe4.0 is coming soon enough!

PCIe4.0 is coming soon enough!

Really?

As for PCI Express 4.0, PCI-SIG is confident that they’ll be able to once again double transfer speeds when the technology is introduced. Historically, the development of a new PCI Express standard occurs about once every four years, and PCI-SIG stated that the “4 year sequence” would likely continue to be the expected development period.

Final specifications for PCIe 4.0 are expected to be released in 2014/2015 .. which is about 4 years after 3.0 specs were released.

It is nice to hear that older chipsets will support Ivy. This makes it easier to decide what to buy.

When will we start seeing newer chipsets boards? At the same time of Ivy release date or before?
