old pics n news but 6x pci-e 2.0 slots !! 
seems like manufacturers are ready with RD890 offerings…
supposedly, it is set to launch this march..
few news links:
CES: First AMD 800 boards spotted
[NordicHW] Biostar confirms 890GX and Phenom II X6 branding
[OCW]Gigabyte reveals its AMD 890GX mainboard GA-890GPA-UD3H with USB3 and SATA3 (6Gbps) support
WTF!!! 6 PCI E slots/
wtf?! thats a hell lot of em!!
lols…it feels m dreaming
hell, one needs atleast 1400w pure psu to utilise all those slots if packed*6 gfx cards.
one word—truly INSANE!!!
would be an overkill using 6 GPUs together.
I guess the Cpu should be atleast 8 cores to make use of the GPU otherwise bottleneck.
^ hahaha …
Its going to release next week
good man but any idea on the cost ?
Looks like overcompensation to me.
should start from around 6.5k mark in terms of price… and yeah they are coming in next week 
8 won’t there for now but expect 6-core Thuban in 3-4 months 
Wooo 6 pcie slots really more than 1200w supply require to handle all 6 gpus
maybe PCIE X16 NIC, Sound Cards, and 56k modem:rofl: and set to launch alongside this release 
Thank you for sharing this. So this 890GX will support the new Thuban cores. What I am confused about, that this is an AM3+ socket right. So does that mean, that the Thuban cores will dock easily to the current AM3+ sockets..?
Though that board has more PCI.Ex16 sockets than DIMM sockets…!
i dont know if there is anything like am3+ socket as of yet. if you are referring to HT3.1 from HT3.0 transition then it is already implemented on current am3 socket imo.
maybe with gpgpu launch later.
amd had already stated that processors would be backward compatible (during am2 launch) so thuban should be socket compatible with am2/am2+/am3 provided it lies under the TDP envelope of the concerned board with proper bios microcode updated.
^^
Errr..sorry. I meant AM2+. Shows my knowledge of AMD sockets is really great. Thanks..!
