ASUS has announced a P55 chipset version of its WS SuperComputer motherboard based on the LGA1156 socket for Intel Core i5 and Core i7 processors. Intended as a way for users to build their 'supercomputer' using NVIDIA cards and CUDA technology, the P7P55 WS SuperComputer motherboard can support up to three NVIDIA Tesla cards along with a NVIDIA Quadro card giving users four teraflops of processing power which ASUS says is about 250 time that of a standard PC. In regular graphics mode the board can support 3-way and 2-way SLI configurations; alternatively, users can also use ATI CrossFireX for a multi-GPU setup. The board comes with ASUS Hybrid Power 16+3 power management with dynamic T.Probe phase balancing and Hybrid OS for quick online access to such applications as browsing Skype and instant messaging. It also offers TurboV EVO-enhanced overclocking allowing users a push button way to boost their CPU's clock speeds by up to 22.2% and memory access rates by up to 14.8%. The boards also come with dual Gigabit LAN ports, 14 USB 2.0 connections, 6 3.0Gb/s SATA connectors and dual Firewire ports. The boards are available now and can be be found at online stores for as low as $225US.
