Up close and personal with Foxconn's Renaissance
written by Ciro - October 4, 2008 09:00

Today has already presented us with some eye candy of Asus' and MSI's X58 offerings (and Gigabyte's yesterday), but now it's Foxconn's turn to step into the limelight.

Seen below, the upcoming board is part of the Digital Life series and has a lovely black PCB Core i7 support, six DDR3 memory slots and a quite decent (in terms of size at least) cooling system. Likely boasting both SLI and CrossFire support, the Renaissance has four PCI-Express x16 slots plus eight SATA 3.0 Gbps and two eSATA connectors, Gigabit Ethernet and Power and Reset buttons. No word on the motherboard's price tag but we'll probably find it out before the end of this month.
