This week there seems to be a subtle (or not so subtle) leaking of Intel Core i7 "ecosystem" supporting products from Intel's various manufacturing partners. In keeping with the buzz that will soon culminate into the launch of Intel's next gen platform, EVGA sends word and a few choice snaps of their HOT new X58 SLI FTW motherboard.

EVGA is proud to show a sneak peak of a new motherboard based on the Intel(R) X58 Express Chipset, supporting the upcoming Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 processor. The EVGA X58 SLI FTW motherboard will feature 6 DIMMs of triple-channel DDR3 memory, and a board layout optimized for the enthusiast including 2-way and 3-way SLI support. EVGA VDroop control minimizes VDroop for the highest level of stability possible and EVGA E-LEET Tuning Utility gives you the power to Overclock at your fingertips. With these features and more, it is no wonder EVGA products currently hold the top 3DMark Vantage Performance Record! Product will be available in November 2008.

EVGA X58 SLI FTW Motherboard Features:

Supports Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 Processors
Intel(R) X58 Express Chipset with the ICH10R
EVGA VDroop Control
100% Solid State Capacitors
6 DIMM triple-channel DDR3
Enthusiast layout supporting 2-way, 3-way SLI and CrossFireX
10 SATA II 3.0GB/s ports (1 e-SATA)
EVGA E-LEET Tuning Utility

We'll see if we can snag one of these for testing so you can see how she runs, in the weeks ahead.
