Asus Launches First Xtreme Design Series Motherboard - P6TD Deluxe
ASUS today announced the Xtreme Design series motherboards featuring ground-breaking design innovations and offering the best in performance and reliability. The Xtreme Design series motherboards delivers exceptional overall system compatibility and enhanced reliability by proficiently managing and reliably controlling core processes operating in the PC. Drawing on two decades of engineering excellence, ASUS believes a genetically superior motherboard DNA will provide the winning formula to surpass current user expectations and industry benchmarks. ASUS leads the industry with designs that optimize overall performance and reliability of PC hardware. In the new Xtreme Design series motherboards, ASUS further raises the bar in motherboard designs for the ultimate in performance, reliability, and safe operations.
Xtreme Reliability for Extended Component Lifespan
Xtreme Design features innovative Stack Cool3+ to enhance motherboard component longevity. It is a feature that was re-engineered from the original copper cooling innovation of the ASUS P5E64 WS motherboard. With the perfect cooperation with Xtreme Design, Stack Cool3+ effectively cools motherboards with an enhanced PCB layer to provide a stable and low operating temperature for optimized data transmissions. By substantially improving heat dissipation, the new series offers users exceptional reliability. This innovation builds on ASUS' pioneering achievement as the first adopter of innovative cooling technologyâ€"which transformed the way motherboards were designed.
Xtreme Performance for Enhanced Power and Throughput
For the ultimate experience in performance, Xtreme Design features Xtreme phase to ensure the most stable and optimized power delivery; and Turbo V for a real-time, dynamic processing boost. Both features allow motherboard enthusiasts to experience optimal power performance under various loading conditions as well as an overwhelming boost of up to 51% in processing throughput.
Xtreme Safety Standards for Minimized Health Impact
Unsurpassed safety standards are incorporated in the Xtreme Design series motherboards for safer operations. By passing stringent Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) testing that is 30% more rigorous than industry benchmarks; the new motherboards have exceptionally low EMI emissions. Together with a low Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) and an I/O bracket called Q-Shield, these features help to significantly reduce any negative health impact and potential damage to components.
Launching Soon: Xtreme Design Series Motherboards with Superior Performance
ASUS will be launching a range of Xtreme Design series motherboards. Among them is the P6TD Deluxe, an enhanced version of the record-breaking, high-performance, X58-based P6T Deluxe motherboard. With an "Xtreme Design" DNA, the new series will appeal to the performance-demanding market and gain more fans by offering superior capabilities and exceptional reliability - traits that discerning users have come to expect from ASUS, the leading name in technology innovation.

So this is asus's way of competing with gigabytes UD3?
The picture of the board is XTREMELY SMALL too. :(
the whole purpose of it adds extra durability and strength to the board, creating a more rigid PCB, as well as helps to cool the board and it's components by wicking heat away from the front to the rear, stabalizing core components like the power phase setup, NSB and SSB
It's typically only found on ASUS' upper-end boards though.
Oh, and Stack Cool 3+ has been around longer than Giga's UD3, IIRC.
Let's not forget, either, that quite a few times voer the last few years, Giga has been starting a whole bunch of squabbling to gain themselves some attention.
But, I will give you the fact that ASUS' boards are starting to get stale.
Just looks like they're trying to re-launch the P6T under an "xtreme-mega-awesome" brand with a couple of minor tweaks. :shadedshu
Stack cool has been used for ages guys, but its not the UD3 2x the copper thingy.
Probably none of the above. But with genetically superior DNA, and exceptionally low EMI and ESD, ultimate in performance and reliability, and labeled Extreme, how could I not buy one. I'm shaking with anticipation.

Here's an idea, Asus guys: instead of putting on massive heatsinks that do nothing more than look good, or adding a second LAN port that no one uses, maybe you should try designing the board so that people won't go "WTF" when they look at it.
I do like the idea of adding an extra layer for strength, since air coolers nowadays are getting obese...
