The first-generation Skulltrail platform features a strange mix of server and desktop hardware, setting re-badged workstation processors together in a dual-CPU motherboard that supports both CrossFire and SLI multi-GPU configurations. Hardware Aktuell's story doesn't say much about the Core i7 version of Skulltrail, but it mentions the platform will retain support from both AMD's and Nvidia's multi-GPU schemes.

Skulltrail v2.0 reportedly won't come out until early 2009, but we may get a peek at it before then. The story goes on to say Intel could demo its new baby at the Intel Developer Forum in Taipei, Taiwan on October 20-21, much like it did last year with the first Skulltrail iteration.
