New Asus P55 Motherboards are 'TUF'

We're all about a hardcore naming scheme that eschews the now overused 'Extreme' nomenclature, so we applaud Asus for its new TUF (The Ultimate Force) series, at least in title.
Kicking off the TUF series is the Sabertooth 55i. Based on Intel's P55 chipset and built around Asus' own 'Marine Cool' concept unveiled at CeBIT earlier this year, the Sabertooh comes equipped with the new CeraMIX heatsink. Through the use of ceramics and a microfin surface texture, the CeraMIX heatsink purports to dissipate heat more rapidly than traditional anti-oxidant compounds, Asus says.
Other TUF attributes include direct memory cooling by way of a CoolMem fan frame that encloses most standard 40mm or 50mm computer fans and fits directly below the memory slots, military-certified capacitors and MOSFETs, E.S.P. (Effcient Switching Power. Drat! We were hoping for a board with a sixth sense), a 12+2 power phase design, and other goodies.
No word yet on price or availability.

Engadget - site about consumer gadgets in general - featured this two days before MPC.
You guys are supposed to live computer hardware and you can't keep the posts ahead of mainstream gadget sites? It's a trend which is become more apparent every day.
What's the point of reading the MPC site when nearly every blog post is featured elsewhere first? Even in areas in which MPC is supposed to specialize in.

On the one hand, you've got a point, but on the other hand many people only have time to browse a small handful of sites regularly. As one of those people, I'll take MPC's two day delay in reporting some gimmicky motherboard over having to scour through 48 million blogs and tech sites daily and nightly just to say "Oh yeah, I knew that was coming two days ago!"

When can we expect MPC to review the pre-release board(s)?
