ASUS X99

Motherboard 

The brand new Haswell-E range is the first to bring a fully-fledged octo-core Intel processor into the consumer market. Through the magic of Hyper-Threading, that means 16 threads of processing that should be capable of chewing through any multi-core optimized application faster than you can say, er, multi-core optimized application (pithy - Ed).

These are the times we love being involved in this fast-paced industry. The times when whole new computing platforms arrive on our test benches. Exciting and intriguing times.With this latest launch we’ve got a trio of brand new products, introducing new generations of memory, motherboard and, importantly, new CPU silicon.

Because of Haswell-E’s server heritage, though, you also get the added might of the next generation of memory: DDR4. In general terms that doesn’t mean a great deal right now, but DDR4 offers higher out-of-the-box performance as well as lowerpower consumption and higher memory density. All we need now are new GPUs.

Along with that sexeh silicon you need a new motherboard chipset and so the X99 was born. Asus’ lovely-looking X99-Deluxe is a mighty pricey board, but it’s also one of the most fully featured we’ve ever tested. Just look at that frickin’ back panel.
