ASRock, once a subsidiary of Asus and now owned by Pegatron (at least until when/if Asus buys the brand back), ended the work week by unveiling its Z77 Extreme6/TB4 motherboard with dual Thunderbolt ports. Using the Daisy Chain feature, the Z77 Extreme6/TB4 supports up to twelve Thunderbolt devices, six in each port, ASRock points out. Thunderbolt isn't the only thing the board has going for it.
Unfortunately, the link to the Z77 Extreme6/TB4's product page spits out a 404 error currently, so we're bound by the limited info in ASRock's press release. What we know is that the motherboard sports four DDR3 slots that can be overclocked to 2800MHz, supports NVIDIA quad-SLI and AMD quad CrossFireX, and features high end components like premium gold caps, digi power, and an 8+4 power phase design.
Other bullet points include 7.1-channel onboard audio, GbE LAN, RAID 0/1/5/10 support, four SATA 6Gbps ports, six USB 3.0 ports, and eight USB 2.0 ports.
No word yet on price or availability.
