This new motherboard is announced to officially support 1600 FSB. Strange behaviour when intel only guaranty it offcially on the X48 upcoming chipset. It also includes the EPU technology available on last X38 high end cards and on the P5K Pro. There's no more info on this card, nor it seems to be yet released.
As I can see from the shots, it is 8 phase power, but the 4 up phases can't be cooled as there's no holes to fit any heatsink. Also the ATX 12v power connector is only 4 pins instead of 8 pins
The most interesting is to see how the P35 platform is still developped with new motherboards, just 4 weeks before X48 release, while the X38 plateform is still freezed. Hopefully, ASUS will continue to update the P35 bioses for a while. But the most strange is that these new P35 boards look really as the low end segment cards
