According to sources cited by DigiTimes, Intel is so far ahead of schedule that it will launch the first Bloomfield processors in September together with the X58 chipset. We would estimate these boards to be reference boards without the NF200 SLI bridge chip. Even though the hardware will be unveiled in September, it is not expected to reach the channel until weeks later in early October. This seems to be a lot sooner than expected, but since the pricing leaked a while back there may very well be something to this story.
