Intel seems like it’s going to be making a bigger push at gamers with the launch of Penryn, and HotHardware managed to acquire some info about the company’s upcoming “Skulltrail” platform, which is built-around server-class hardware reconfigured for gaming. Skulltrail supports dual quad-core Penryn Xeon processors, SLI graphics, and four PCI Express x16 slots, as well as two standard PCI slots. You’re also looking at a whopping six internal SATA ports, dual eSATA ports, six USB ports, a lone FireWire port, and Gigabit Ethernet. As for I/O, the board has six internal SATA ports, a single IDE port, and headers for additional USB and Firewire ports. On the IO plate, no legacy connectors are to be found, but it does have six USB ports, dual eSATA ports, single Firewire and Gigabit Ethernet jacks, and analog and digital HD audio inputs / outputs.
That’s quite a foundation for a gaming rig,let’s just hope the price is at least sounds reasonable, eh?
