Stephen DFI LanParty MI P55-T36 @ Hartware.de
“Thus, the small board also boasts good sound, thanks to a licensed Creative X-FI software. Also supports all currently available LGA1156 CPUs. But one thing is on the MI LanParty P55-T36 really stands out: the CPU cooler and the graphics card. “MI” stands by the way for mini-ITX.”
ASUS P7P55D Premium @ Techware Labs
“With the advent of Intel releasing the LGA 1156 socket ASUS has launched nothing short of 17 different socket 1156 motherboards based on the newer P55 chipset. We decided to take this time to look at one of the more elite socket 1156 motherboards from ASUS, the P7P55D featuring SATA III, SLI and Crossfire, a remote for overclocking and a 48 Hybrid Phase cooling design.”
MSI H55M-E33 vs Intel DH55TC @ Au-Ja!
“The Clarkdale has arrived but where shall we put it? If you take a P55 based mainboard, you won’t be able to use the CPU’s graphics core. So, it has to be a H55 or H57 chipset. We took two H55 based motherboards for a testdrive: MSI’s H55M-E33 and Intel’s DH55TC…”
Gigabyte GA-P55-UD3R @ Bjorn3D
“Gigabyte has long been one of the top manufacturers for the budget minded gamer. Their lower end products carry over many of the features of their bigger brother without the high price tag. The UD3 series is no different. The UD3 series can really be considered the best mix between budget and high end.”
ASUS P7P55D EVO @ PCShopTalk
“The P7P55D EVO motherboard from ASUS I am going to test in this review is not the final design, it has some modifications compared to the retail board but the main features are still there. Let’s take a look at the review and see what ASUS has to offer with this P55 platform motherboard.”
Intel Core i5-660/661 Processors @ iXBT Labs
“The new processors have a greal potential for price cuts, especially as their process technology matures. The second important benefit is original architectural features which let dual-core processors feel all right among quad-core ones. The third benefit is that the new processors are actually new.”
Intel Clarkdale vs AMD Phenom II w/785G @ MadShrimps
“With the launch of Clarkdale by Intel, they have finally released a Nehalem for the masses, the Core i3 and i5 variations with integrated graphics are a direct competitor to the market segment currently held by AMD Phenom and Athlon CPUs. In this article we compare the performance of the IGP on the Intel Core i5 661 to and AMD system with 785G chipset.”

Intel DP55WG & DP55KG @ Legit Reviews
“These two boards might have the same form factor, chipset and processor support, but the price difference shows something bigger must be happening. When Legit Reviews first saw these motherboards at Quakecon 2009 we discovered that the Intel DP55WG ‘Warrensburg’ motherboard is based off the same PCB as the Intel DP55KG ‘Kinsberg’ motherboard, but has been stripped down.”
MSI P55M-GD45 @ iXBT Labs
“MSI P55M-GD45 has all the necessary features, even offering additional support for a number of older technologies. Owners of compact PC enclosures who don’t intend overclocking, may consider this model as a good deal.”
