Often seen as trailblazers, ASUS has released the P6X58D Premium in response, currently their only board that features USB 3.0 and SATA III, as well as being ready for the upcoming 32nm 6-Core processors. The P6X58D appears to be an evolution of the vaunted ASUS P6T, not only with a new colour scheme but also several other design and functional improvements. Indeed, the P6X68D Premium is positioned to be the successor to the P6T going forward in the ASUS product lineup.

Let's take at a closer look at some of these new features and see if the P6X58D Premium can successfully continue to evolve and improve the LGA1366 platform.

Thanks go to ASUS for supplying the review sample.
