Although Intel has not yet officially announced its high-end X48 chipset, some first-tier motherboard makers started shipping boards in small volumes a few days ago. Mass shipping will start in the middle of March, according to sources in the channel.

Asustek Computer and Gigabyte Technology both started shipping the motherboards this week.

In additional to the X48, Intel will launch a P45 chipset in the second quarter of 2008, while the first-tier motherboard makers have already started showcasing their P45-based motherboards.
