So there have been lots of previews of mini itx llano motherboards, but I can't find any yet! The chips has almost been out for a full month now and all we got are 7 atx boards and 14 m-atx boards from $70 to $140.

Asus has shown two mini-itx boards, but all my google searching does is bring up old previews of these boards.

Asrock has also shown a design for a mini-itx llano platform, but it is no where to be found on the market.

And the last itx design that I remember being previewed is the GA-A75N-USB3 from gigabyte

Its the board on the right, although we don't get any picture of it.



So where are these boards, still not in retail. Also what ever happened to the a55 chipset, seems everyone left the cheaper chipset and went with a75 instead.

I don't know about you, but I am ready to upgrade from my brazos mini-itx computer to a llano-itx build. Maybe the motherboard manufactures are waiting for the cheaper 2 core llano chips before they release these motherboards. Waiting for a low powered llano cpu? That's my guess.

I might have to wait a couple more months if that is the case according to this chart.

What think ye? Anyone else google searching fm1 atx/a75 itx daily? I want an itx motherboard like 3 weeks ago.

I dont think there are waiting for the 65W models and/or Dual-Cores.
At least I woudn't, where is the point? If someone wants to put a A8-3850 on a mini-itx Board, why not offer him one?

:( sad thing, I already had to pick a µATX Board for someone who wanted a small build and has no need for more GPU Power than the HD6550D can offer... that's the market for Llano!
With mini-itx it would have been a lot smaller AND he would still have one PCIe-Slot for something... (no need for any slot at the moment, although he now has a lot of them!).
