The ASRock W790 WS is an EATX size motherboard for Intel's Xeon W processors. In addition to the 4677 socket for the CPU, it has eight RAM slots (but only four memory channels) supporting up to 512GB of DDR5 Registered ECC memory and five PCI-Express slots of varying size and speed. That layout allows for a wide range of expansion card configurations, and since the board isn't too massive it can even fit in some mid-tower cases.
A wide range of connectivity is provided as well: six standard USB ports, two of the new USB Type C, two Thunderbolt 4 ports, dual 10Gb Ethernet, WiFi, Bluetooth, and both analog and digital audio. Internally it has eight SATA ports and four M.2 connectors, supporting a very flexible array of storage options.
