Kingston reportedly developed a new Intel-certified dual-channel DDR3 memory kit. The KHX2400C9D3T1K2/4GX runs at a blazing 2400MHz at 9-11-9-27-2 timings at 1.65V, this is an announcement only as the memory will be available in Q2 2010.

The 2400MHz kit runs at 9-11-9-27-2 timings at 1.65 volts and was developed for enthusiasts, gamers, and benchmarkers looking to scale new memory heights. As with all Kingston memory, the 2400MHz kit was created with the highest design-engineering principles and subjected to OEM-quality production and testing standards to gain Intel XMP certification.

The memory was tested to great success on several P55-based systems including the GIGABYTE GA-P55A-UD4P motherboard. The 2400MHz kits will be available in Q2. Kingston HyperX memory is backed by a lifetime warranty and free 24/7 technical support.

Intel’s first Core i5 processor, the mainstream model from their Nehalem platform, is expected to make its debut on September 6th, along with two new Core i7 chips.

Sources in the Taiwan motherboard industry state that Intel will begin shipping the Core i5-750, Core i7-860 and Core i7-870 from early September, with quadcore clock-speeds of 2.66GHz, 2.8GHz and 2.93GHz respectively. They’ll be joined in early 2010 by two energy saving versions, the Core i5-750s and Core i7-860s, running at 2.4GHz and 2.53GHz, but with 82W TDP rather than 95W.

The Core i5 CPUs will have the same 8MB L3 cache, VT-x virtual machines and LGA 1156 socket support as the Core i7, but lack the Hyper Threading technology that allows the Core i7 processors to effectively double their core-count to eight. VT-d support is also missing, meaning virtual machines won’t have access to the host’s I/O.

However there is automatic overclocking where heat and power makes it possible, taking the i5-750 to 3.2GHz, the i7-860 to 3.46GHz and the i7-870 to 3.46GHz. The three chips are expected to be priced at $196, $284 and $562 respectively, while the ’s’ low-TDP models, the i5-750s and i7-860s, will be $259 and $337 respectively.

Intel’s new Lynnfield could show up in stores as early as September.

The new 45nm CPUs will all be Socket 1156 flavored and should also come in speeds of 2.66, 2.8 and 2.93GHZ. a Dual Channel DDR3 memory controller will be build into the CPU with official support for up to 1333MHz memory.

Interestingly the 2.66GHz version will not have Hyper-Threading.

Pricing is looking to be $196 for the 2.66, $284 for the 2.8 and $562 for the 2.93. The P55 board to support these new CPUs should start popping up in August (there are even some early benchmarks showing up now).

Lynnfield should fill in the gap between the expensive i7 CPUs and the older Core 2 architecture.

While Intel has yet to official confirm the exact launch date for the Core i5 platform including Lynnfield based processors, it can’t be too far off when benchmarks are being leaked to the web already.

The quad-core Core i5 2.66GHz processor ran through the benchmark gauntlet on a reference Intel P55 motherboard, outperforming a dual-Xeon L5320 system and even besting the Qx9650 chip in a few of the tests. The good news is that there will be two more Lynnfield chips as launch that will be even faster, and the 2.66GHz part is expected to hit the market at $196.

An exclusive look at DFI’s upcoming codenamed “Ibex Peak” single chip design Intel P55 Express based motherboards.

DFI’s UT P55-T3eH8 and DK P55-T3eH6 motherboards that we saw today are not mass production level samples and will see some changes – you will see some hand wiring and so on that obviously won’t be there in the final shipping product. You’ll probably be able to buy them sometime in September this year, once the compatible Socket LGA-1156 Core i5 quad-core “Lynnfield” processors go on sale.

We think Intel pushed back the P55 launch again and again to allow the market to shift more of its P45 and Core 2 Duo parts before the new platform comes in and takes over the mainstream level.

P55 also supports the codenamed “Havendale” Core i5 dual-core processor which includes an on-die GPU, but we were told this will be phased out and never actually reach mass production (just for testing purposes). Instead, a newer 32nm version of it will be released sometime in Q1 next year, according to our sources.

Back onto the DFI boards – UT is DFI’s ultra high-end board and DK is a slightly cut-down version, coming in a little cheaper. The difference between the two is that the UT features a more advanced power system using a digital power management (PWM) system. UT also gets a more advanced audio add-on card as well as a better cooling system which exhausts air outside of the case – we were not shown this, DFI has to keep some surprises until Computex in a couple weeks time.

One feature you will probably notice straight away on the UT board is a the SO-DIMM like looking slot between the DDR3 DIMM slots and the IDE connector. This is an Open NAND Flash Interface (ONFI) slot that allows for an Intel made and sold 4GB or 8GB flash module to be installed to boost system performance. You can think of it as a roughly similar feature to Microsoft’s ReadyBoost in Windows Vista, but much quicker than plugging in a USB 2.0 pen drive. It acts as an extra type of cache (some are calling it “L4″ cache) and apparently you’ll even be able to access this flash memory as a hard drive and even install your main operating system on it.

Some common features on both boards – you’ll notice that the CPU socket is different from what you get on X58 and P45 boards since these boards only support Socket LGA-1156 processors – namely Core i5, as we spoke about above. Core i5 is designed to be the mainstream and cheaper version CPU of the high-end enthusiast Core i7 processor. One of the big differences is that Core i5 will only have dual-channel DDR3 support whereas Core i7 has triple-channel.

At the time of writing, DFI was unable to provide any details on pricing for either motherboard model. However, they did state a little dissatisfaction over Intel charging the same price for P55 chipsets as the P45 north and southbridge combo. Keep in mind that P55 is a single chip solution and P45 was a dual chip solution – something is clearly not quite adding up.
