We can tell you everything but how it performs
The X58 chipset is a great example of how not to do a product release. We have been seeing plenty of boards that use the new chipset, but we have yet to see a benchmark, for the i7 processor line is still under NDA. Overclock3D has that exact problem with their review of the ASUS Rampage II Extreme. You can read all about the various features available on the motherboard, but you won’t see any performance numbers.
