CES 2008: Foxconn Goes Extreme With Motherboards

Foxconn A79A-S Motherboard

Foxconn was also showing some AMD enthusiast boards off and had the A79A-S leading the way. This is your usual AMD 790FX motherboard, but with Phenom slow getting out of the gate it wasn’t too exciting.

Foxconn also flew in a few world class overclockers to do phase change cooling, but when we were at the Foxconn suite they were not fully ready to show off the test system.

In closing, Foxconn has really started to develop some killer enthusiast products and it should be interesting to see how the community takes to these new products. Foxconn has not been known to make enthusiast products in the past, but it seems like they are on the right path in making the move to high-end boards.
