Gigabyte has exclusively shown bit-tech roadmaps of its upcoming products - the most notable of which is its new Dynamic Energy Saver software which will be rolled out in Jan.

In addition to all this X-chipset malarkey, our current favourite chipset – the Intel P35 - gets a makeover from Gigabyte become the EP35, and will now also get an energy efficient revision for the entire range as well. However, no PCI-Express 2.0 is still provided, even though the chipset is fully capable of it.

What's This Fault?

Stupid marketing trick I suspect.

i thought P35 don't support PCIe 2.0. first Intel chipset to support it is x38.

Nope. P35 has PCI-E 2.0 in it - Intel itself has confirmed that at least twice with us. The only thing that we can think of is that the P35 designs were closely related to the P965 designs which meant boards could be turned around faster (a necessary factor at a major launch) and 2.0 qualification would be more cost intensive and even less necessary than X38 given the market and performance difference between Gen-1 and Gen-2.
