Among the gamers who will be accepting challenges from the crowds are Fisker, SpawN, Styla and Hero from SK-Gaming. Resident Pro-Gamer will be Johnny R, one of the most famed Counter-Strike players in the world. Combined these gamers have won an incredible amount of world championships and major international titles, ranging from Counter-Strike to FIFA. “Challenge the Pro’s” will run on Foxconn’s booth (Hall 21, Stand B28) every day with different professional gamers dropping by to challenge the crowds daily.
The on-booth event will use gaming PCs powered by Intel® Core™2 Duo processors and based on the Foxconn P9657AB-8EKRS2H motherboard, which is powered by the Intel® P965 chipset for the ultimate balance in performance, value and energy efficiency. Peripherals include the SteelKeys 6G keyboard, SteelSound 5H v2 headset and award-winning gaming surfaces from SteelSeries. Graphics power will come from Foxconn NVIDIA® 8800 series VGA cards, pre-overlocked for additional performance. A setup truly built for hardcore high-performance gaming.
“It is certainly true to say that e-sports have developed a long way in the past 5 years, and so has the hardware which is making the gaming experience more potent than ever before” commented Brian Chang, Motherboard Product Marketing Manager at Foxconn. “When asked to select a motherboard for the gaming systems, we had no hesitation in selecting the P9657AB thanks to its great balance of features, performance, and support for Intel® Core™2 Duo processors - which offer unrivalled performance per watt.”
