VR-Zone has captured a CPU-Z screenshot of the Wolfdale E8500 running on a Intel P45 based motherboard. Intel P45 Express chipset is slated to appear in Q2 '08 supporting 1333FSB, up to 8GB of DDR3-1333 or 16GB of DDR2-800 memories, 1 x16 PCIe 2.0 slot or 2 x8 PCIe 2.0 slots and ICH10/R. In this case, we have managed to overclock the CPU to 4.2GHz on air on 440FSB and SuperPI 1M completed in 11.063s. Certainly, more tuning are needed to the board and BIOS to boost the overclockability further.
