Taiwanese manufacturer Asus brought a lot of P55 motherboards at Computex but since its competitors did the same thing it went further and put up on display three motherboards powered by the P57 chipset. Seen below, the P7P57 PRO, P7P57 and P7P57 LE all have support for Intel's upcoming LGA1156 processors (codename Lynnfield, Clarkdale), four dual channel DDR3 memory slots, one eSATA and five SATA 3.0 Gbps ports, a NAND memory slot (since the P57 includes support for Braidwood technology), 7.1 channel audio, and a D-Sub output.

Being higher-end models, the P7P57 PRO and P7P57 feature two PCI-Express x16 slots (one on the P7P57 LE) for CrossFireX (and likely SLI) setups, and include HDMI and DisplayPort connectors. All three boards should arrive in later Q3 or Q4 so start saving up.
