I don't know how permanent the Intel motherboard offering is, but Wildman had independently verified that other motherboard OEMs are already creating their own TPM motherboard for sale. By the middle of next year, I expect to see 50% of all motherboards sold will have a TPM on them. By the end of 2004, that number should be well within reach of 90%.
If 2005 will be the year NGSCB comes out, and the PC lifecycle is 3 years, TPM motherboards will come out en masse in 2004.
