The Guru of 3D – ASUS introduces new Prime X299-Deluxe II and ROG Dominus Extreme

Intel’s high-end desktop platform raises the stakes with updated Intel Core X-Series processors. The additional processing power plows through CPU-intensive tasks, while the extra bandwidth lets you add more GPUs and NVMe SSDs to accelerate a wider range of workloads.

Anchored by the X299 platform, this upper echelon scales up to 18 cores with the new Core i9-9980XE. It’s now joined by an even more exclusive chip with 28 cores and an entirely separate platform that redefines extreme desktop PCs. We have new motherboards designed to exploit the strengths of each CPU. The Prime X299-Deluxe II gives professionals and power users a flexible foundation for serious work and it is not alone, ROG engineers are also working on a new Rampage motherboard geared toward hardcore gamers and overclockers, while the ROG Dominus Extreme shows what’s possible when our engineers have the freedom to go beyond traditional boundaries. ASUS has also released BIOS updates for existing X299-series motherboards, adding support for the Intel Core™ X-Series processors family. The latest BIOS updates are now available for download from the official ASUS website. Read more here.
