MSI Continues Teasing High-End, X299 Motherboard - It's GODLIKE
The folks at MSI seem to be particularly fond of puzzles at this point in time, for no discernible reason. I say so because they've been giving us snippets of an upcoming high-end motherboard, which we have previously covered. At the time, we posited it would fall somewhere along the X299-end of the spectrum, considering the huge amount of PCIe x16 ports on-board.
It would seem those suspicions were founded, since MSI's other GODLIKE branded motherboards (which means they have all the bells & whistles available on time of their release) were X99-based, so it would follow that the new GODLIKE would usher in their footsteps as well. From the new piece of the puzzle, we can glean that this motherboard will offer, in addition to its 4x PCIe x16 ports and 3x M.2 slots over the X299's 44 PCIe lanes, 3x Ethernet connectors, 6x USB 3.1, and 2x Wi-Fi antennas. Expect this motherboard to be one of the most feature-packed offerings for Intel's expected ninth coming (of their Core i9-branded HEDT processors, that is.)

Also, this needs edited for typos... :)
(i = I, posited = posted, BELLS and whistles)
However, posited is correct, as in, we assumed, we put forth.
Thanks for the heads-up =)
So can we expect 5Gbps Ethernet (maybe even 10Gbps?) as well? And that 6.35mm audio jack is interesting too.

Are you tired of using multiple 2.5" or PCI-E SSDs?
Do you have a burning desire to fit more than two laptop SSDs to your motherboard and turn it into a small scale fusion reactor?
Well at MSI we have you covered!
It turned out to be Z270, not X299...
