The arrival of Intel's first 32nm processors, codename Westmere is close so it should come to no surprise that new motherboards specifically targeted at those GPU-equipped chips are starting to appear here and there. Take the P7H57D-V EVO from Asus, this one is an upcoming full ATX board powered by the H57 chipset which will gladly house one 32nm Core processor.

Asus' motherboard, which may still get a few changes before release, has support for LGA 1156 processors, boasts four DDR3 memory slots, two PCI-Express x16 slots enabling at least CrossFireX setups, six SATA 3.0 Gbps and two 6.0 Gbps ports, and also USB 3.0 connectors. The P7H57D-V EVO seems to include D-Sub and DVI outputs (HDMI may be there too) so the CPU's graphics core will be easily hooked up to a monitor.

Expect the P7H57D-V EVO to become available in the next few months, probably around or after CES 2010.
