We reported on Gigabyte's upcoming X79 line-up last week, and it looks like the company is working hard to throw in that little something extra.
What you see above, is a Bluetooth 4.0 + WiFi card - consisting of a PCIe to mini-PCIe adapter. WiFi comes courtesy of an Atheros chipset and two antennas. We're talking about 150Mbps here though, and there's no MIMO support. The WiFi part of the combination, utilises the PCIe connectivity.
As for the Bluetooth 4.0 part of the equation, the card connects to the mainboard via a cable, and there's also a USB port on the card itself - internally.
It's said that the Bluetooth 4.0 + WiFi card will ship with the X79-UD5, X79-UD7 and G1. Assassin 2 SKUs.
