We didn't have much time but we got you a couple of shots of the latest and greatest desktop motherboards featured at Intel's booth. The linked pictures are about 2.5 MB each and not resized, straight from the camera for all your zooming pleasure. Please use the comments section of this news post to tell us about the highlights you spotted.I also managed to get a closeup of a naked P55 on another manufacturer's booth.

soooooo much!!
And this one is cool. Funky "angled" CPU socket. You gotta admit, i5 is a great platform for smaller devices ;)
Oh, this will be a winner for SFF
Canon ftw
5 ram slots? That can't be right...
Also, how are the P55 boards doing 3 16x pci-e slots? Are they 8/8/4 or something else?
8/8/4
I do like the new color combo that Asus is going with. A lot better than their past efforts.
The Gigabyte P55-UD5 supports the Intel Core i5 processor (LGA1156) with a dual channel memory architeture. It has a 24 phase design so you should have more stability with higher clocks. it comes with 3 full length slots supporting CrossFireX. It it unsure if it will run SLI.
As with Intel P55, it supports SATA 3 (SATA III) 6.0Gb/s. The chipset is is a Marvell hybrid chip which supports 4 SATA-3 ports and 6 SATA-2 ports with RAID 0/1 support.
The board also features a Open NAND Flash Interface (ONFI) slot which allows you to speed up system access. It works similarly to the ReadyBoost in Vista.
