Le nuove CPU Haswell Refresh saranno presentate ufficialmente il prossimo 11 maggio, ma le schede madri basate sulla nuova serie di chipset 9, si affacceranno poco prima sul mercato. Queste sono infatti compatibili con gli attuali processori Haswell su socket LGA1150.
Di seguito possiamo apprezzare l'intera gamma di prodotti ASUS per i chipset Z97 e H97, anche nelle vesti ROG (Republic of Gamers) e TUF (The Ultimate Force).
