These next generation AMD Phenom processors are equipped with blazing fast CPU core frequencies, and will provide unprecedented performance gains for thread-intensive games and applications.
ASUS is the first motherboard manufacturer to offer complete product lines supporting the new 140W powered AMD Phenom processors.

The above list is not exhaustive, and more 140W CPU ready ASUS motherboards are expected to be announced soon.
