ASUS Announces X99-E-10G WS

Workstation motherboard with quad-strength
graphics support, built-in dual high-speed 10G LAN, and the latest USB 3.1, M.2
and U.2 connectivity on board

Taipei, Taiwan (15th
August, 2016) — ASUS today announced X99-E-10G WS, a new
Compact Electronics Bay (CEB) workstation motherboard based on the Intel®
X99 chipset and with support for four-way multi-GPU setups at full PCI Express®
(PCIe®) 3.0 x16 speed for extreme graphics performance.

X99-E-10G WS also features dual 10-gigabit
(10G) Intel® Ethernet on board for high-speed networking, the latest
USB 3.1, M.2 and U.2 connectivity for ultra-fast transfers and flexible
storage, ASUS-exclusive 5-Way Optimization technology for one-click
acceleration, and flawless Crystal Sound 3 audio.

X99-E-10G WS
is equipped with seven PCIe 3.0 slots and is able to accommodate up to four dual-slot
graphics cards. The new workstation motherboard supports both four-way NVIDIA®
Geforce® SLI™ and AMD® CrossFireX™ configurations
for extreme multi-GPU performance, making it an excellent choice for graphics
professionals who depend on powerful graphics in areas such as design and
modeling, medical research, plus processing-intensive simulation and rendering
applications.

In addition
to graphics cards, X99-E-10G WS’s expandability offers ample room for RAID
cards, PCI Express-based solid state storage drives, video capture cards, and
other components.

X99-E-10G WS
is the first ASUS workstation board to be stacked with the latest high-speed
networking and connectivity. The workstation motherboard’s built-in dual Intel®
10G Base-T (10G) Ethernet connections operate at up to 10Gbps — ten times (10X)
faster speeds than traditional gigabit LAN sockets — enabling support for the high-density,
high-bandwidth and low-latency networks needed for extremely demanding
applications.

X99-E-10G WS
also has the latest USB 3.1 connectivity that delivers data-transfer speeds of
up to 10Gbps — or twice as fast USB 3.0. The board includes both a traditional USB
3.1 Type-A socket, and the all-new reversible USB 3.1 Type-C  port for any-way-up convenience.
ASUS-exclusive USB 3.1 Boost technology automatically accelerates USB 3.1
performance even further.

M.2 and U.2 sockets
are also engineered into X99-E-10G WS, so the motherboard is ready for the
next-generation storage technologies. These connections are able to exploit the
maximum PCIe 3.0 x4 bandwidth for transfer speeds of up to 32Gbps, offering the
potential to attach storage devices that perform up to 5.3X faster than
traditional SSDs.

With 5-Way
Optimization X99-E-10G WS sorts all the complex settings with a click, for
instant, highly-controllable performance boosts. This exclusive technology
dynamically optimizes essential aspects of the system based on real-time use, for
superb CPU performance, everyday energy savings, ultra-stable digital power,
cool and quiet fans and even networking and audio settings that are tailored
for favorite apps.

X99-E-10G WS’s
Crystal Sound 3 audio technology provides shielding and protection from
electromagnetic interference by separating the left and right audio channel
circuits. A de-pop circuit design and a new power pre-regulator help reduce
input power noise; while an audio amplifier and premium Japanese-made audio
capacitors gives gamers immersive in-game audio.

X99-E-10G WS
also includes SafeSlot, the PCIe slot reinvented by ASUS and engineered to
provide superior retention and shearing resistance. Manufactured in a single
step using a new insert-molding process that integrates the slot with the
fortifying metal for an inherently stronger slot, SafeSlot is then firmly
anchored to the workstation motherboard through additional solder points.

ASUS X99-E-10G WS is
retailing at $999
