ASRock has debuted its DDR3-2400+ toting A55 series of mainboards - for desktop A-Series Llano APUs - and unsurprisingly, harnessing AMD's A55 (Hudson-D2) chipset.

 

 

With the line-up comprising of three SKUs - the A55 Pro3, A55iCafe and A55M-HVS, the manufacturer covers both ATX and Micro ATX form factors, and as the slide above claims, looks to deliver quite the (graphics) punch over competing A55 powered solutions.

 

 

The A55 Pro3 - taking on flagship duties - dishes up dual PCIe 2.0 x16 slots, and support for up to Quad CrossFireX levels of multi-GPU goodness, as well as SATA 6Gbps and USB 3.0 functionality. Top-to-bottom, we find the A55 series utilising a graphical UEFI BIOS, as well as a host of technologies such as XFast LAN and XFast USB, which the company describes as goodies - presumably thrown in to sweeten the deal.
