Manufacturers just aren’t willing to attend for the eighth of May — they need to announce their spiffy new Intel Z68 Express motherboards now, dang it, regardless of the consequences. Well, we will’t really complain, especially when said motherboards reveal brand-new Intel products in trade. The above image was pulled direct from a PDF flyer for the ASRock Z68 Extreme4 motherboard, which depicts an intriguing benchmark — once you pair certainly one of Intel’s 20GB Larsen Creek solid state drives with a customary 1TB magnetic hard disk drive, Intel’s SSD caching technology can allegedly provide you with much speedier performance. Needless to say, there’s no such thing as a 20GB Larsen Creek drive, right? That is the part where we’d inform you that Intel may finally be democratizing solid state storage and making it a cheap upgrade to all — except we all know full well that Z68 is the corporate’s premium Sandy Bridge chipset, so don’t get your hopes up too far.
