With so much of what used to be on the motherboard having been moved directly onto the CPU motherboard launches just aren't what they use to be.  That is why the launch of Ivy Bridge-E has not been accompanied by the arrival of a slew of new motherboards.  Some companies such as ASUS have done a refresh of existing X79 motherboard lines for the new IB-E processors but not a total revision or new chipset.  The X79-Deluxe is a perfect example, based on a mature board but with some new tricks added, as you can see in The Tech Report's review.

"Most motherboard makers are relying on existing LGA2011 models to complement Intel's latest Ivy Bridge-E CPUs. Asus has taken a different approach by rolling its recent innovations into a brand new board: the X79-Deluxe. Join us as we take a closer look at what may be the most advanced X79 board around."
