Intel's Panther Point to include native USB 3.0 support, Z68 chipset to launch May 8th?

Here’s more unofficial leak slide of Intel’s upcoming products. According to the ‘somewhat authentic’ yet unofficial slide above, it looks like the company’s upcoming Panther Point chipset for the Sandy Bridge E (X58 successor) will indeed include native USB 3.0 support finally. Oddly it also support Ivy Bridge and Sandy Bridge processors, and support for up to three displays (for the integrated graphics). What’s more, a separate rumor is now also pointing to Intel’s high-end Z68 chipset being released on May 8th. It supports the latest Sandy Bridge processors, and will allow for performance to be boosted even further with things like overclocking and RST SSD caching.
