Is Robson the code-name for the X38 chipset? I believe that's the case, because Intel was saying the X38 wouldn't be out until at least Q3. I know the P35 and G35 chipsets are already out, at least last I recall...

Well, that's not exactly how I read it though: "Robson" is also technically used on the Santa Rosa mobile chipset for the exact same reason, and you can buy Santa Rosa-equipped laptops today from several different manufacturers. This article is talking about the desktop chipset that uses "Robson", which is technically possible on the G35, P35 and X38 desktop chipsets.

Of those three, I believe the X38 is the only one yet to surface to the public. Hence my question...
