So ASUS is going to release the P6X58 premium motherboard, which will feature two 3.0 USB ports. The USB 3.0 is know as a super speed port. The rumors flying around are that its going to be 5000Mb/s, which just about every one states this is a tad bit over optimistic. ASUS board will also support the Core i7 processor, and six DDR-3 slots, SATA 3.0 with capabilities of 6Gb/s, and 3 PCI-Express slots.
There are no pricing or release date, and no bench mark tests have been released. While it will take a while for the rest of the computer world to catch up with the 3.0, so just know when they do upgrade those Rocky USB drives to watch them do up thrusts faster and longer than you can.
As a side note Linux is the fist OS to get its drivers for 3.0 thanks to Sarah Sharp or known as the “Geekess” on the streets.Go Geekess.
