Asus during the Computex a concept motherboard on display that Zeus mentions. The board is based on a X79 motherboard, but Asus has two gpu’s on the system ge lwa integrated. What graphics chips that are told Asus not.
The X79-chipset, meant for Sandy Bridge E processors in the lga2011 socket, supports normal video, such as the Ivy Bridge chipsets. The engineers of Asus have the same a on the X79-chipset based motherboard produced when two gpu’s are processed. Where normally a pci-express slot, Asus has now a huge heat sink, including the two gpu’s are hidden. At the bottom of the motherboard are the memory chips to see which of the gpu’s to communicate.
The gpu’s would, having regard to the pci express 3.0 specification, and the lack of sli-certification of the platform, very good HD 7970-gpu’s are directly on the pci-express lanes are connected. The gpu’s have vrm’s that on the place where used to be the northbridge was to be found and are powered by eight – and zespinsstekkers. The video is via a displayport, or an hdmi port; in addition, there are two Thunderbolt ports with displayports.
Furthermore, the concept board, eight sata-600 ports, six of which are by individual controllers to be controlled. There are twelve usb 3.0 ports, four headers on the board. Zeus has eight ddr3 memory slots, good for up to 128GB of memory. In all likelihood, the board is not for the ordinary consumer, but it is purely a technical demonstration.
