Next year the high end platform will be called Leo. It’s made up of a Thuban CPU, which is an updated Phenom II rev sporting as many as six cores. It’s still 45nm so don’t expect much in the way of new architectural features. Graphics comes courtesy of the Radeon HD 5000 series, which we all know and love. The chipset is going to be AMD’s new 8-series, complete with a new SB850 south bridge.

MSI najavio prvu ploču za Thurban:

Next year in Q2 AMD will debut the Leo desktop platform, Dragon's successor, and two of the three main parts on which it will be based - the Thuban hexa-core processor, and the RD890 series chipset. Together with the SB850 southbridge, the RD890 will make up the AMD 890FX chipset, the thing powering the MSI motherboard seen below.
Boasting support for AM3 processors, the MSI 890FX-GD70 seems to feature 5-phase DrMOS and includes four DDR3 memory slots, no less than six PCI-Express x16 slots for CrossFireX setups, six SATA 6.0 Gbps ports and another SATA connector (the blue one) which may or may not be as 'fast' as the others.
The upcoming board also has Power, Reset and OC buttons, Gigabit Ethernet, 7.1 channel audio, eSATA, FireWire and two USB 3.0 ports handled by a NEC controller. The price of the 890FX-GD70 is yet unknown but you can bet it will be on the high side. Thankfully, we have enough time to save up for one.
