EVGA Shows Off X99 Motherboard and Titanium Power

EVGA rejoined the marketing games of top motherboard venders with a visual preview of an X99 motherboard. For those who haven't been following rumors over the past six months, that's the DDR4-mandated, quad-channel supporting Haswell-E platform. And for those who don't even know what a Haswell-E is, EVGA also showed some relatively-fresh Z97 parts.

Closer to fruition is the firm's 1600W power supply line. Topped by the 80-PLUS Titanium rated 1600 T2, Platinum-rated (P2-model) and Gold-rated (G2-model) samples were on hand as well. EVGA expects to ship these in June or July.

    This will be my next upgrade coming from a 2600K of 3 years ago on a Z68 board still humming along. Actually worth an upgrade to with a native 8 core cpu and faster chipset for us desktop users.

    Are the haswell-e chips also expected for September? (I thought I heard mid 2015). If not what chips will be compatible?
