EVGA has been doing a pretty good job with its X58 line-up so it's only natural that it wants to continue the trend with its upcoming P55 offer which includes the board seen below. Codenamed 132-LF-E655, the motherboard has a black and color scheme (just like the X58 boards), it comes with support for LGA1156 processors, has four DDR3 memory slots, and three PCI-Express x16 slots for SLI and CrossFireX multi-GPU setups.
The upcoming P55 board also comes with six SATA 3.0 Gbps ports, Gigabit Ethernet, 7.1 channel audio, a Flash memory slot, a debug LED, and Power, Reset, Clear CMOS buttons. EVGA is expected to have more than one P55 offer for when Intel finally introduces the LGA1156 (Core i5?) processors.

J&W P55
While Intel and Nvidia have yet to say anything officially, it seems SLI on the P55 will be available in a similar manner to that of the X58, with no Nvidia chip required for it, but with board makers paying a per-board fee for a SLI license (a cost which is obviously passed along to the customer). Coming to confirm this, we'd say welcomed move, J&W is showcasing at its Computex booth a P55 motherboard that actually bears an Nvidia SLI 'tag'.
Seen below, the board has two PCI-Express x16 slots for SLI and CrossFireX setups, support for Intel LGA1156 processors, four DDR3 memory slots, eight SATA 3.0 Gbps ports, Gigabit Ethernet, 7.1 channel audio, Power and Reset buttons, plus a debug LED. No word on price or availability but it was to be expected.

Intel H57
The P55 chipset may have flooded Computex thanks to the multitude of manufacturers showcasing motherboards based on it but it isn't the only LGA1156-supporting silicon that reached the Taipei show. Over at Shuttle's booth people can see an early version of a board equipped with the H57 chipset, which is not expected to arrive before Q1.
Pictured below, the compact H57 motherboard has support for Intel LGA1156 processors, comes with one Flash and four DDR3 memory slots, a PCI-Express x16 slot, and three SATA 3.0 Gbps ports. The board also comes with support for Braidwood technology, which an improvement of Turbo Memory, Gigabit Ethernet, and 7.1 channel audio.
