Based on new information from Intel, ASUS is happy to announce that updated Intel 6 series-based motherboards will begin shipping this week, immediately after the revised design is released by Intel. This fast response aims to prevent any further inconvenience and interruption to customers. Customers who already own potentially affected motherboards may visit {this site} for product return and replacement details. Additionally, users can easily identify revised products by checking for labels showing “New B3 Revision” displayed on products and their packaging. The chipset version can also be verified through the onboard sticker, BIOS, ASUS SATA Verifier or CPUID’s CPU-Z utility.

If you mean new intel processors as in LGA2011, no, not yet I believe.. If they even release new cpus now, it will be for x58 and p67. Limbo is not over, sandy balls will be trampled by bulldozer..
Also, as Rabu said, get some quotation marks and source links up, or else it will be removed.

I agree but p67 was the latest only to be recalled so they are still pretty much new and Bulldozer looks real good !!!!
