The Rampage II Extreme (Yet to be officially launched.) is based on Intel's new X58 chipset and ICH10R south bridge. The X58 is truly a remarkable chipset for a ton of reasons. The first of which is the fact that the chipset no longer contains the memory controller as that has been integrated into the Intel Core i7 processor. While this isn't remarkable by itself, as AMD did this years ago, this is a first for Intel and the X58 chipset is a new breed of chipset designed to support a new breed of CPUs. This chipset also supports a remarkable feature set many of which are firsts for Intel. Triple channel DDR 3 memory support is new for Intel and thanks to Intel's new QPI (Quick Path Interconnect) the chipset provides an insane amount of memory bandwidth compared to Core 2 Duo/Quad processor based systems. This chipset is also the first chipset to support both ATI's Crossfire/CrossfireX and NVIDIA's SLI/3-Way/Quad-SLI technologies.
