ASUS today announced the launch of the new ASUS P7F7-E WS SuperComputer
motherboard which maximizes transmission speeds by integrating the
industry’s latest I/O technologies such as USB 3.0, SATA 6G storage
interface, and IEEE 1394b FireWire standard. Additionally, the ASUS
P7F7-E WS SuperComputer is equipped with the LGA1156 socket and the
latest Intel 3450 chipset with onboard graphics. For extreme gaming
enjoyment, up to four ATI CrossFireX cards or 3-way/2-way NVIDIA SLI
cards can be accommodated to generate smoother and sharper visuals. It
also leverages NVIDIA CUDA parallel computing architecture to support
up to four NVIDIA Tesla cards with Clarkdale Processors for intensive
high-performance computing.
Ultra-fast Throughput with USB 3.0, SATA 6Gb/s and IEEE 1394b
Interfaces
The ASUS P7F7-E WS SuperComputer is the best choice for providing
comprehensive I/O support. It includes USB 3.0 ports—the latest
connectivity standard with 4.8Gb/s speeds—to support next-generation
components and peripherals. USB 3.0 transfers data ten times faster and
is backward compatible with USB 2.0 components. Additionally, the ASUS
P7F7-E WS SuperComputer includes Serial ATA (SATA) 6Gb/s storage
interfaces for 6.0Gbps data throughput, thus enhancing scalability,
accelerating data retrieval, and doubling the bandwidth of current bus
systems. To support FireWire-enabled digital video recorders and
computers, the ASUS P7F7-E WS SuperComputer also includes two IEEE 1394b
ports supporting up to 800Mb/s speeds—doubling the previous IEEE 1394a
speeds.
Massive Computing Power up to 4 Teraflops with CUDA Parallel
Processing
A powerful and efficient platform, the ASUS P7F7-E WS SuperComputer
supports high-performance computing for life sciences research,
engineering and financial modeling with its NVIDIA CUDA parallel
computing architecture. By accommodating up to four NVIDIA Tesla cards
with built-in Clarkdale processors, the ASUS P7F7-E WS SuperComputer
generates up to 4 Teraflops of processing power from a total of 960 CUDA
parallel processing cores.
Stunning Graphics with Multi-GPUs Powered by SLI or CrossFireX™
Technology
The ASUS P7F7-E WS SuperComputer provides incredible graphics
flexibility and enhanced scalability from a single motherboard by
supporting either 3-way/2-way SLI or 4-way CrossFireX technology. Users
can install up to three SLI-capable GeForce graphics cards at x16, x8,
and x8 connection speeds, or two graphics cards at true x16 connection
speeds.
Six Embedded Memory Slots for Flexible Memory Options
Embedded with six memory slots, the ASUS P7F7-E WS SuperComputer can
accommodate up to 16GB of DDR3 memory. The flexible options include
installing four 4GB modules or two 4GB modules and two 2GB modules. As
the price of a 2GB module is 15% less than a 4GB module, the ASUS P7F7-E
WS SuperComputer gives users the flexibility to acquire the most RAM at
the lowest cost.
GPU Boost Delivers Free iGPU Upgrade
GPU Boost overclocks the integrated GPU in real time for the best
graphics performance. The user-friendly UI supports direct frequency and
voltage adjustments. Its ability to deliver multiple overclocking
profiles also provides rapid and stable system-level upgrades within the
OS environment.
Easy Connection of USB-based Devices with Quick Gate
Users can directly connect USB-based devices via the on-board Quick
Gate interface—without an extension cable. This reinforces the
connection link and prevents partial transmissions and loss of data.
