The upgrade path is easy – you won’t need to buy new memory or a new CPU cooler. Shouldn't P67 be mentioned there as well? I see from the above image you got your samples from OcUK!

Intel, y u no release today? I know, was silly to move the launch away from retail. No-one can buy anything!! Quote: Originally Posted by SpeedSpeed Shouldn't P67 be mentioned there as well?

Some were given updates as far back as October last year! You can see the label which is in OcUKs product code format. Yes sad I know that I spotted that.
