The Z87 platform is slow but surely creeping out of the darkness and with Haswell about to be released, ASRock and many other motherboard manufacturers are starting to let slip a few details of their new products, some on purpose, but mostly via leaked details as items start shipping out for review, retail and testing by various partners.
