This French site reported that ASUS P4S8X on SiS648 chipset (see picture here), A7V8X (based on VIA KT400 chipset) and and A7N8X on Crush18D (see picture here) will start shipping to the distributors in July or August. All of them will support AGP 8x and SerialATA150 interface.

They also suppose that the new NVIDIA Crush18D chipsets will be called nForce 820/815 (with and without the integrated graphics core). In fact, this is pretty logical, the today’s solutions supporting PC2100 are called nForce 420/415, the chipsets aka nForce 620-615 (with PC2700 support) will not ship at all, and the next generation supporting DDR400 has every right to be called nForce 820/815 then.
