Either which way, there seems to be a price premium on the new boards, take for example the Intel DH67BL which is set to replace the DH55TC, the price premium is between $20-30. Now we wouldn't read too much into this, as it's still very early days, but the same seems to hold true across the board, as in Europe a high-end board like Asus' Maximus IV Extreme is about €30-40 more than the Maximus III Extreme. However, we've also found retailers with the same pricing for the various "replacement" models which suggests that prices will even out once the Sandy Bridge platform launches.

We're not going to compile a price list here, as there are far too many boards to list, but an easy way to find some board pricing is to hit up Google shopping and search for either Intel P67 or H67. We also suggest hitting up your local price comparison engine, as at least in parts of Europe, this is a sure fire way if finding some board pricing. We've also heard reports of boards already being on sale in various parts of the world, but we have as yet to confirm this by going to a shop and asking for boards ourselves.
