Guys, this is big news and hence not posted in CPU/chipset section.

Intel's upcoming Core i5-750, Core i7-860 and Core i7-870 CPUs as well as P55 chipsets are expected to be announced on September 8, 2009, according to sources at motherboard makers.
Channel market demand is expected to start picking up in September, and will boost motherboard makers sales by 15-20% sequentially in the fourth quarter.
The proportion of P55-based motherboards among total shipments is expected to reach 20% by the end of 2009, the sources estimated.
Intel declined the opportunity to respond to this report saying it cannot comment on products before their launch.
