The platform is designed for AMD Kaveri accelerated processing units

The FM2+ socket is the natural evolution of FM2 meant to support AMD's newest A-Series APUs, and Biostar has released a motherboard featuring it.

Called Hi-Fi A88W 3D, it uses the A88X chipset and crams quite a few features in its admittedly spacious ATX form factor.

All the essentials are there: four memory slots, two PCI Express 3.0 slots and Gigabit LAN (Smart SpeedLAN).

There are two PCI slots as well, plus eight SATA 6.0 Gbps ports, three USB ports/headers, six USB 2.0 ports/headers, etc.

The name of the platform, however, stems from the "Puro Hi-Fi" audio technology, that "6+ Experience" feature pack that includes Audio+, Video+, Speed+, Protection+, Durability+ and DIY+.

Support for Full HDMI 30 1080p video streaming with a competent AMD Kevri chip, or any FM2+ chip really, is assured as well.

I have already linked the product page, so you can see all the little details. I haven't found a price though.
