God I hope Vmware gets to supporting more than 8 cores...
Hmmm, dual Octacores watercooled.....
I think... Skulltrail on Steroids.Is this just another server/workstation class board, or is it going to be marketed to the enthusiast/gamer crowd?
Aren't octa-cores going to be on LGA1567?
It's made by EVGA. Take a wild guess.Is this just another server/workstation class board, or is it going to be marketed to the enthusiast/gamer crowd?

eww 2 NF200's.. bleh screw that.. just going to be another skulltrail furnace.. didnt the P6T6 supercomputer motherboard already prove that you dont need 2 NF200 chips.. ffs they are a complete waste and create way to much friggin heat..
There's more news here:
http://www.brightsideofnews.com/new...ak-of-dual-1366-motherboard-for-ces-2010.aspx
"This is their first DP [Dual processor] board and we look forward to seeing this board at CES. From what we can gather this board will have 12 DIMM slots and Two Processor sockets and a Digital PWM similar to their popular overclocking Classified board. It will also have an Intel Tylersburg 5520 and two NF200's which may indicate the possibility for 4 full width PCI-E 2.0 X16 graphics card slots."
The board will be displayed at CES so I figure by spring time we should see it, that is if EVGA will be releasing it. Intel originally planned on a Skulltrail II, but the last I heard about it in the beginning of fall it was becoming more and more uncertain. The latest news concerning ST II described a dual Beckton enthusiast platform with a total of 32 cores (16 LC+16 HT).Looks intriguing, but how long till that can be purchased?

Having a Skulltrail system myself, I wholeheartedly agree. I fabricated a semi-custom HSF utilizing a Thermalright HR-05 IFX for the north bridge between the CPUs. I wish I could find something better than the stock HSF for the SB/PCI-E bridge chips but it's nearly impossible especially with a full complement of video cards. At least Intel was thoughtful enough to include a fan. I'm certain EVGA's cooling solution will be superior whatever they come up with.I wish they would have left the n200 chips off. All they do is eat power..
The same here. I am really hoping these can support the L55xx Xeons. We will find out in a couple days.That board changes the game for me. If it can do dual 5500 series Xeon, overclock them, and support 16x PCI-E2, I might have to upgrade my desktop.

True, but I may be able to get my hands on two samples of L5520's.The X5650 is only 95w, heck the standard voltage 32nm quads are 80 watt chips.
In one dimension it is but it is definitely wider front to back. It will fit in my XL-ATX motherboard tray though. Here's the 4-way pic which is XL-ATX for the comparison:its EVGA's XL-ATX which there are plenty of cases that will support this.
The recently surfaced high-end dual socket LGA-1366 motherboard is pictured in full, without its cooling assembly. The picture reveals quite a bit about EVGA's new monstrosity. To begin with, the motherboard is neither ATX, nor EATX in the truest sense. Like the recently announced X58 Classified 4-way SLI which was based on the "XL-ATX" form-factor, this motherboard seems to be 13.58 inches (344.93 mm) long, and about as wide as EATX (330 mm, 13 inches), or maybe a little more.
Each LGA-1366 socket is wired to six DDR3 DIMM slots for triple-channel memory, and is powered by an 8-phase digital-PWM circuit. Each socket further has a 3-phase power circuit for its DIMM slots. The CPU VRM for each socket takes input from an 8-pin ATX, and what appears to be a 6-pin +12V (PCI-E?) connector. The motherboard further takes power from a 6-pin PCI-E power connector apart from the usual 24-pin ATX power connector. Some of these inputs may be redundant and needed only for additional electrical stability to support competitive overclocking.
At the heart of the board is what appears to be an Intel 5500 "Tylersburg" or Intel X58, paired with an Intel ICH10-class southbridge. All of its SATA 3 Gb/s ports are located next to it, while a Marvell-made SATA 6 Gb/s controller provides two additional ports. There are seven PCI-Express 2.0 x16 slots in all, driven by four x16 links over two NVIDIA nForce 200 bridge chips. The exact lane distribution is not known. There seem to be two gigabit Ethernet controllers, 8-channel audio, eSATA, USB 3.0, and EV-Bot support. More about the board may surface during the CES event.
