    I hope your being sarcastic. That thing looks ugly.
     
    Think of it this way, you prefer women fully clothed(the p67 sabertooth), or with less clothes on? Like the Classy which has just a 2-3 heatsinks on instead of one giant one which covers, well everything.

    the fact that the mini-itx board uses laptop memory is fail. everything else about it is really nice though.

    Be sure to edit the title to indicate these are for the mainstream market as LGA1155 only replaces LGA1156 (and whatever ends up replacing the mobile version mPGA988), not LGA1366 or LGA1567 as well which won't EOL until next fall or later.

    Edit: dual channel ram? What a dissapointment.
    It's a P chipset, succeeds only P chipsets.  For example, P67 is going after the P55/P45/P35 market, nothing else.  Considering how much AMD is beating the current Intel gen, what reason would Intel have to improve upon it other than making them simply marginally faster than an AMD Bulldozer based part?  Higher RAM support is there despite dual-channel. 
     
    Think about it, who in this market needs another channel as isn't satisfied with just a higher supported speed?  Very few, maybe those getting boards with an nF200, but most don't care.

    I would actually like to get my hands on the Sabertooth as long as the plastic shroud was well-made out of hard plastic rather than an afterthought bolt-on shield. With good build quality it could be very good.
     
    On that note, is there any word on EVGA P67/X68 board designs and what sort of ports they will use? Will all next-gen boards use UEFI?

    I actually like the look of the sabertooth p67. Might get it if it comes out before evga puts out their p67

    So..it's pretty much a updated version of the current BIOS system.

    Kinda...sorta...good enough.
     
    This pretty much sums up the important bits: "UEFI defines a similar OS-firmware interface, known as "boot services" and "runtime services", but is not specific to any processor architecture. BIOS is specific to the Intel x86 processor architecture, as it relies on the 16-bit "real mode" interface supported by x86 processors."

    Yeah it'll be cool if they actually have the software to go along with the UEFI this time.
    Like Apple does.
    I had an Intel mobo with EFI in the past and it was basically useless since there was no software to make use of it
