AMD's 900 series chipsets preceded the introduction of their Bulldozer processors by several months. While this chipsets offers no additional functionality to non-Bulldozer CPUs, manufacturers jumped on the bandwagon anyway, perhaps because Bulldozer was expected a little sooner than it was actually released, and MSI was one of the first. Benchmark Reviews takes a look at how MSI's 990FX-GD80 motherboard works, and we even use a Bulldozer CPU.
So far, MSI has released only two motherboards based on the new AMD 990FX chipset, one for the top mainstream market (990FXA-GD65), and one for the high-end market (990FXA-GD80). Let's take a look at the MSI 990FXA-GD80.
MSI 990FXA-GD80 is currently the highest-end in company's Socket AM3+ series. As such it has and supports everything MSI can offer today. Still, the motherboard is practical and reasonable enough nonetheless, without features you could classify as marketing padding, and will attract those who need the best in technology.
MSI today launched their AMD 9-Series chipsets products: the 990FXA-GD80 and 990FXA-GD65 mainboards. Both of these boards are ready for AMD 'Bulldozer' octa-core AM3+ CPUs when they arrive later this year. The AMD 9-series isn't that different from the 8-series that it replaces. In fact, the block diageam from the both series would look the same, so the biggest difference is certainly socket AM3+ and the ability to support upcoming AM3+ packaged processors. Read on to see how the MSI 990FXA-GD80 motherboard compared to an 890FX board from ASRock!
We've already had a look at a bunch of A75 motherboards and today we look at an offering from MSI known as the MSI A75MA-G55. This board stood out instantly for me thanks to its mATX format, which is something that I've been looking for since we received our first A75 motherboard.
The MSI A75MA-G55 is our second micro-ATX form factor socket FM1 motherboard for AMD's new APUs that we are going to look at. The AMD Llano platform is a great little mainstream platform for the casual gamer and everyday user. How will the MSI A75MA-G55 compare to our previous socket FM1 motherboard or even the Intel Z68 system? Read on to find out!
The Lynx platform, otherwise known as Llano for desktop, is out in full force now. The new chipset offers something of an alternative to low-end Sandy Bridge systems with comparable CPU power and extremely heightened GPU power. These APUs don't themselves a system make, however, and all the usual manufacturers have been providing a plethora of motherboards in which to place your new Lynx APU. In this article Benchmark Reviews is taking a look at the MSI A75MA-G55 motherboard. The MSI A75MA-G55 sports the new FM1 socket which takes Llano APUs. Currently the two available are the A8-3850 and the A6-3650, which come ready to rock with Radeon HD discrete level graphics. We have already seen the performance of the AMD A8-3850 APU, now let's look at the MSI design for the A75 chipset and how they differ from the competition.
Let’s take a look at this socket FM1 microATX motherboard from MSI based on the new AMD A75 chipset for the AMD A-Series CPUs.
Der Einstieg in die Welt von FM1 beginnt bei Mainboards mit rund 50 €. Das MSI A75MA-G55 das wir in unseren zwei Llano-Artikeln verwendet haben kostet bereits 20 € mehr. Das Sapphire Pure Platinum A75 stellt mit 115 € das teuerste Mainboard für die Lynx-Plattform dar. Es hat also bei vielen Usern einen schweren Stand, denn Lynx mit der A-Serie-APU von AMD ist für den Mainstream gedacht und wer kauft schon ein Mainboard, das teurer ist als die APU, die ja bereits CPU und GPU in sich trägt. Wir wollen dieser Frage nachgehen und schauen, ob das Board von Sapphire seinen Preis wert ist und wie sich das MSI im Vergleich schlägt.
The MSI A88X-G45 Gaming is a handsome AMD A88X motherboard that sports a long list of features including triple graphics slots. That explains the ‘Gaming’ part of the name and as you would expect the A88X chipset means this MSI board supports the latest FM2+ range of Kaveri APU.
