Asus P6X58 Premium motherboard (click to enlarge)

As the world’s first motherboard featuring support for SATA 6Gbps and USB 3.0, Asus P6X58 Premium Motherboard which was showcased at ComputeX 2009 has made many headlines. Unfortunately, Asus has actually decided to cancel it.

Yes, you’re reading this right. Asus informs INQ that it has cancelled its P6X58 USB 3.0 motherboard “not for any particularly interesting reasons.”

Maybe Asus wants to include USB 3.0 support on another powerful motherboard, or they’re just waiting till the technologies become more mature.
