Computex 2017: ROG Press Conference X299 / X399 And Much More
ASUS held a second press conference. While we’ll visit their booth for a product tour tomorrow, this evening that had the Republic of Gamers press conference.
Targeted specifically at gamers and DiY enthusiasts ASUS introduced the Republic of Gamers (ROG) segment of products several years ago. The ROG branding these days is so big and special that there now are separate press conferences with product introductions for it. The photo gallery covers all products launched and shown today, and you guys are in luck as seriously hot babe was presenting them all, so please do get your freak on. New items introduced are motherboards, the X399 and Intel X299 range. On stage also was Mr. Huang, CEO of Nvidia talking all things games, VR, and AR.
ASUS has a ton of stuff to show. A new card VROC that can house up-to eight M2 units and reach silly performance in RAID mode over a full X16 PCI-Express link. The unit default towards software RAID, hardware raid needs to be enabled (unlocked) through a physical unlock key and only allows usage of Intel based M2 units. The RAID 0/1 solution will be expensive and starts at 150 USD, for RAID 5 you need to pay roughly 250 USD. We'll post more info later. At the event we also learned that in the Intel procs launched initially are up-to 12-cores, which verifies that the 14, 16 and 18 core parts will be released in a much later stage in time. In the photos you can see a screenshot of a 10-core Intel processor, ASUS did not even have a 12-core part available for testing. So this means the Intel processor launch certainly isn't a hard-launch. We'll have to wait and see when the many core procs are available.
Now I can write a million words here, but well who am I kidding as chances are pretty good that your focus will be the the hotty presenting the products. Once your blood returns to the head, please do check out the ASUS ROG hardware photos. I’ll try and add some more specs and info once I have time for it.
ASUS Talks Aura sync as universal implementation for everything and anything RGB in the PC platform. ASUS is releasing an AURA SDK that can be used by other manufacturers that want to do RGB. ASUS also shows the PG35VQ monitor, a 35" monitor. We will look at that one tomorrow with the ASUS booth tour and take some photos. ASUS on the ROG event also announced its all new gaming notebook called Zyphyrus. This Core i5 and i7 driven laptop is powered by a GTX 1080, and is a slim laptop, actually the slimmest gaming laptop in the world. The laptop is 16.9mm up-to to 17.9mm tick (on it's thickest spot). Have a browse through the photos of the ROG event.
