Foxconn socket.

And what the hell does 36 phase power get you?

Wasn't there a 'military-themed' P55 board from ASUS? What is it called?

36 phase power will take you.. there.

Thank you for the link, RussianSensation. I didn't know that board was out for sale.

It's interesting to see how long it'll take before USB 3.0 and SATA 6.0 Gbps takes off, without Intel's official support. (and AMD for that matter)

Their "military themed" board has less than half the total power phases of this new board.
I wonder if Asus will release a board with double the power phases of this board..

It says it supports quad crossfire/sli. Is that possible with 2, 2.0 x8 slots?
I thought 1 5870 saturates pci-e x8 2.0?
