Wolfdale and Yorkfield

Will these future CPUs use a LGA775 socket or is this still unknown,
cheers.

They will indeed be LGA775 CPU's. All P35 and X38 boards support these along with a select few nForce 650i/680i, P965 and 975X boards.

Will the EVGA 680i mobo support this?
Thanks.

I don't know about the initial revision of the board but the A1/T1 revision that improved Quad Core clocking issues and some other bugs, that's been on sale the past few months does support it with a BIOS update

Thanks. I have the T1 edition. So I should be ok with the bias update? Is this correct?

Thanks again.

Yep, you should be good to go. I'm pretty sure I've already seen a BIOS noting "Wolfdale Support" but I might be wrong. Either way, eVGA have marketed the board as 45nm CPU Ready so whenever Wolfdale/Yorkfield turn up you'll be fine.

Thanks very much, appreciate your help.
