Jumping the gun just a bit, MSI has today officially unveiled its wannabe high and mighty 890FXA-GD70 motherboard which is powered by the RD890 and SB850 chips aka the AMD 890FX chipset.
Seen below with its quite nice black and blue color theme, MSI's board features support for AM3 processors, and packs Military Class components (Hi-c CAPs, Solid CAPs, and Icy Chokes (low-temperature inductors)), the OC Genie overclocking feature, core unlocking capabilities, DrMOS, APS (Active Phase Switching), and Winki, the Taiwanese company's own instant-on OS.
The 890FXA-GD70 boasts four DDR3-2133 memory slots, five PCi-Express x16 slots for CrossFireX setups, one eSATA, one SATA 3.0 Gbps and six SATA 6.0 Gbps ports, dual Gigabit Ethernet, two USB 3.0 connectors, and 7.1 channel audio. Unfortunately MSI hasn't said anything about the motherboard's price tag so we'll have to wait for it to reach stores.
