This is Asus' X99 Deluxe, and while it might be lacking M.2, it does look pretty.

re M.2 slot:
The article says it looks like one, however also that it's not a good spot and I agree.
The problem is the main POWER CABLE is likely to push up against it once you put the motherboard in the case so damaging the M.2 SSD board is very likely.
Why they wouldn't just put it in the UPPER LEFT makes no sense to me.

I'm just not sold on the whole M.2 size, fittings and locations. I don't see this as making a huge inroad. The newer SATA Express which offers 40% speed BUT requires 300% more connection space - I'm not too sure about THIS interface, either, but at least their devices (IF THEY EXIST!!) appear to be fitting into drive-bays.
Not consuming motherboard acreage.
I get the feeling that both of these 'advances' are more babysteps and dillydallying instead of real progress.

That slot is the M.2 slot. If you zoom in you can see the label under it. It says M.2x4. So, M.2 with 4 PCI express lanes.It is without a doubt an m.2x4 slot. think about it, if you were designing this and had so much to fit on a limited space, wouldnt it make sense to reduce its footprint and make it a vertical slot?

5 x16 slots? Can someone tell me how many lanes can actually be used at the same time? It's probably in any article on X99, but it slips my mind.Number of lanes also depends on the CPU, Core i7 5820K only has 28 PCIe lanes, the other 2 has 40 PCIe lanes.
For the Core i7 5820K it's 1GPU at x16, 2 GPUs at x16/x8 and 3GPUs at X8/x8/x8, 3 GPUs makes that 24 lanes used. the last 4 can be used for the M.2x4 which uses 4 PCIe lanes.
But if a single card is installed that's x16, 28-16 = 12, if I plug in a PCIe x1 card, then what that means I only have 11 PCIe lanes left.

The realistic configs with 2-slot video cards are:
1 video card : x16/-/-/-/-
2 video cards: X16/-/x16/-/-
3 video cards: x16/-/x16/-/x8
Similar to the X79 setup.

Actually with a board with a PLX onboard, you can have "88" lanes(40 CPU assumed + 48PLX), cause the PLX will enable switching around WHICH 40 lanes are being used at what port and the latency for that operation is so small you won't notice.
Virtually speaking, you'll have 40+48 lanes available or 5x 16x + 1x8.
The P9X79-E WS has a PLX and I hope the P9X99-E WS when it comes, will have the same specs, just 2011-3 socket and DDR4 RAM ofc.

Seven PCIe lanes? I sincerely hope you mean slots; seven lanes would cripple the heck out of the thing.

Thanks for pointing that out. Correction has been made. Yes they are slots not lanes please.

7 slots can be exploited by using single slot cards and/or PCI Express splitter boxes.
Check the system at the top of the Arion CUDA benchmark list, it has seven Titans.
In theory one could use 56 GPUs with a 7-slot board, though in practice I expect
the driver mechanism would fall over long before that point.
