Foxconn to be OEM Maker of Intel P45 and G45 Motherboards
Intel plans to release own-brand P45 and G45 motherboards in the second quarter of 2008 with Foxconn to be the OEM partner. Although shipments of Intel's motherboards are still far behind first-tier brands, the company is not giving up pushing its own-brand business to maintain leadership in design, development and marketing. The codename of Intel's P45 motherboard is Skyberg (DP45SG). The product will support 45nm-based 1333MHz FSB Core 2 Extreme, quad-core and dual-core CPUs. The G45 motherboards, codenamed Icedale (DG45ID) and Fly Creek (DG45FC), will feature support for HDMI, DisplayPort and DVI. Both will support 1333MHz FSB quad-core and dual-core processors. The major difference between Icedale and Fly Creek is that the former will support up to four DIMMs per memory channel while the latter only two.

^The one thing that makes Intel Desktop Boards something to look up to. My First Intel DB: The D865GBF...it still works flawless
Zippy-fast-BIOS-update
^No DOS disk, no CLI commands, just download a Win32 .exe file, few clicks later your BIOS is fit as a horse.
Neat
^I'm amazed they're so good at the PCB real-estate. Looking at boards like 875PBZ, 865PERL, or even the newer X38BT you'll find nothing missing and everything is so well spaced-out
