ASUS teased its next-generation W890 Pro WS EBB motherboard on social media after CES 2026. The company claims this behemoth board is 'built for pros who demand serious performance,' though media outlets missed it during the show. A single photo confirms the massive EBB form factor and workstation focus.

This new board is primed to host Intel's upcoming Xeon 'Granite Rapids-WS' processors using the LGA 4710 socket. It succeeds the current W790 platform, packing eight DDR5 DIMM slots and seven PCIe x16 slots. Two active fans manage thermals on this dense, feature-rich layout designed for heavy professional workloads.

Pricing remains unknown, but expect a premium over the $1600 W790E-SAGE SE. Rumors suggest a launch near Intel's new HEDT chips. While ASUS teased an NVIDIA Grace Blackwell system, this board signals a continued commitment to high-end Intel workstations despite the shifting hardware landscape.
