After Intel launched the Series 50 chipsets
and Lynnfield and Clarkdale processors for
desktops in 2009, platforms for LGA1156
processors have since become the focus of
worldwide power users. After another year
pf further research, Intel revolutionized again
the desktop platforms by launching the brand
new platform code-named Sandy Bridge,
which included both the Series 60 chipsets
and core processors. MSI thus launched the
next-gen Intel mainboards for consumers to
experience these new desktop products from
Intel.
