CPU/Mobo Gigabyte cancels P67 programme – moves 100% to Z68

This is gonna hurt !!

Gigabyte has made its last P67 mainboard and cancelled all future production – that’s the stunning news that has just filtered into KitGuru’s newsroom. Shocking stuff, but is it real and, if so, what does it mean. KitGuru heads for the underground carparks to find out, deepthroat style.

Looking at the benefits of Z68 over P67, it is not that bad. let see what's the price of these boards compared to P67's.

yeye now we can have Z68 when we RMA P67 LOL thats the only positive thing i can think of considering I already ordered a P67 day before yesterday

The only differences from P67 boards being QuickSync, SSD caching and Onboard GPU. All useless features to an enthusiast. Anyway, Z68 boards will cost the same as the P67 boards!

I think they will just give you old P67 boards until stock runs out.

GIGABYTE Tech Daily: Official statement regarding reports of cancelling P67 chipset projects

Tim Handley specifically said that the article that GBT is referring to is the one from Kit Guru. Now I am just curious from where did KitGuru got their intel from.

Oh nice... apart from anything else... it's a sure-shot sign that Z68 boards should be on the shelf soon enough. My wait seems to nearing it's end. Come this June, I'm going to suffer from massive attack of upgraditis..... MUHAHAHHA... hyeah::devil:
