The Intel Core i7. The ASUS SABERTOOTH X58 introduces extreme performance. It is an X58-based motherboard that supports Intels Core i7 Processors and both SLI and CrossFireX. Six SATA 3GB/s ports with RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 as well as two SATA 6.0GB/s. Memory support includes up to 24GB of Triple Channel DDR3 memory. Intel has brought back Hyperthreading technology and combined it with a native quad-core design to give support for 8 separate threads in the LGA1366/Socket B CPU interface and their replacement for the old Front Side Bus technology, QuickPath Interconnect provides a system bus speed of up to 6.4GT/s. The three PCI-Express 2.0 slots operate at x16/x16/x4 to take full advantage of either 2 or 3 graphics cards, allowing up to four GPUs to be used for maximum graphics performance.
