Intel has disclosed the presence of an enthusiast gaming platform code-named “Skulltrail“, PC Magazine reports.
“Little is known of Skulltrail, other than it will be a dual-socket, dual-core platform due later in the year. Rival AMD has already disclosed the Quad FX (also known as “4X4″), a dual-socket platform that can hold AMD’s Athlon 64 X2 processors. Intel executives declined to comment further,” the report says.
Daily Tech says Skulltrail will sport four PCIe slots for graphics expansion.
Intel also said that it plans “hardware support” for DirectX 10 graphics, most likely the creation of an integrated or possibly standalone DX10 graphics chip, reportedly.
