Compare ufficialmente sul sito Asus il nuovo modello della serie Workstation denominato P6T7 WS SuperComputer .

Questa scheda era stata presentata in una veste provvisoria all'ultimo CeBit.

Basata sul chipset Intel X58 è supportata da due chip NVIDIA NF200 e con 7 PCI-Express 2.0 è dedicata a soluzioni high-end multi-gpu.

Questa nuova motherboard si affida inoltre ad un controller Intel ICH10R con sei connessioni SATA da 3GB/s con il supporto a soluzioni RAID 0,1, 5, 10, un controller Marvell 88SE6121 permette la connessione a due periferiche eSATA mentre un controller SAS Marvell 88SE6320 offre due porte SAS.

Sul fronte processori la P6T7 WS SuperComputer oltre che il supporto alle cpu della serie i7 offre la compatibilità con le cpu dedicate alle workstation Xeon della serie 3500 e con i modelli E5502/E5504/E5506, con 6 slot DIMM è possibile installare fino a 24GB di DDR3 in triple channel.
