With the market demand going more towards Z68 motherboards and now with the release of the new Intel 7 Series Z77 (coming soon: Z75, H77 and B75) chipsets, Intel has announced the product discontinuance of the P67 chipset. The P67 will not necessarily go quietly into the night, though. The chipset that has powered the current generation Sandy Bridge processors since the start, will be compatible with Intel's new Ivy Bridge processors through an appropriate UEFI update. The chipset will be available through April 5, 2013.
