CES: eVGA Dual Xeon mobo caught on our camera

Events 170 Published by

One of the more interesting product announcements (well carefully leaked information) lately has been the eVGA dual-socket (LGA 1366) motherboard. This will be an uber high-end tweakers dual LGA-1366 motherboard based on the Intel 5500 "Tylersburg" chipset with the usual ICH10R southbridge. We had a sneak peek at eVGA's CES suite in the Wynn hotel.

Considering you'll need SMP support the dual-socket motherboard will have to support the Xeon 5500 series and the 6-core Xeon Westmere's. As the picture reveals you'll spot the two LGA-1366 sockets, each powered by an 8-phase digital PWM circuit. Each socket is wired to six DDR3 DIMM slots supporting triple-channel memory for that socket. The board has 7 PCIe slots and to feed them the motherboard is equipped with two NF200 (NVIDIA) bridge chips to add additional PCIe lanes.  We took a couple of photo's, check em out.
