The first spot is the TP67XE, based on the P67. This ATX motherboard has all the features of a mid-range performance board. The processor is powered by a 4+2 phase VRM, it is wired to four DDR3 DIMM slots for dual-channel memory. It is said that the Sandy Bridge processors will have higher reference DRAM speeds than present Nehalem/Westmere chips (which have DDR3-1066 and DDR3-1333 depending on the model), expansion slots include one PCI-Express x16, one PCI-E x16 (electrical x4), two PCI-E x1, and two PCI. While the board has padding for a 2-port 3rd party USB 3.0 controller, it is indicated that Intel 6-series chipsets will finally introduce native SATA 6 Gb/s.
Next up is the TH67XE, which is based on the H67. This micro-ATX form-factor board includes all the essentials, and looks to get a value market position. A simpler CPU VRM is used, and expansion includes one each of PCI-Express x16, PCI-E x16 (electrical x4), PCI-E x1, and PCI. It features display connectivity. We are probably two quarters away from seeing any concrete signs of LGA-1155 from reaching the market.
