During the Intel Lynnfield and P55 Express chipset launch press conference earlier today in Taipei city, we managed to spot what we believe is an unseen motherboard from ASUS.

The ASUS Sabertooth 55i motherboard is obviously based on Intel’s recently launched P55 Express chipset for the Socket LGA-1156 Core i5 and Core i7 processors and includes dual channel DDR3-1333 memory support.

What is interesting about this board is that it is part of the Ultimate Force brand from ASUS, which we have heard little about in the past. Sadly we couldn’t find any ASUS reps during the event, so we are a little unclear on details, but you can get a good look at the upcoming motherboard in the video below.

seems like Asus has found another way to lure us into premium mobo, their ROG series has been not too engrossing lately IMO.

Hexagonal Boron Nitrate coating?

layout looks similar to the other P55 series leh, not much product differentiation imo except for those "marketing terms".

true, no big surprise.

but wonder if those efforts by Asus will really make the board cooler?

Looks like they took the idea from the concept board the Marine Cool.
