In this sneak preview, were looking at the upcoming P-55-UD5 motherboard from Gigabyte. The board is said to be one of the better choices in the P-55 class and is meant for the Intel i5 CPUs, who uses the Lynnfield architecture and therefore cant be used with the existing X58 motherboards for Intel i7 CPUs. This is because of a new socket type, named LGA 1156, and as the name states it has less pins available than the socket used for Intel i7 CPUs, meaning that the performance will never reach the i7s that have more memory bandwidth.
