The chip provides full support for four PCI Express 3.0 x16 slots (at the same time), which could be useful in configurations with more more powerful graphics cards. Price and exact date of begining of sales for this motherboard are not yet known. In addition, the Galaxy now offers and Thunder line SSDs with 64-256 GB, based on SandForce controllers.
