THG Looks at ClawHammer Mobo

An anonymous reader writes "Tom's Hardware Guide managed to get a first look at the new Socket 754 ClawHammer motherboard. While they don't provide the benchmarks that you might be looking for, they do an excellent job and providing pictures and an overview of the ClawHammer Platform."

Vacuum?

[Trusty Penfold]

They have vacuum tubes on the motherboard for 5.1 surround sound.

Are they crazy?!? Everyone knows that sound doesn't travel through a vacuum.

I had a really bad case of that three years ago after eating glutenized squid.

No wait, wasn't he Darth Maul's second cousin?

No, I'll get it. Doesn't it attach to the Incus and transmit computer sounds to the ear drums?

Oh, I give up.
