It is time to present the first 890FX motherboard that entered the Shrimps lab. And boy does it look stunning, ladies and gentlemen let me introduce you: The Asus Crosshair IV Formula. The previous Crosshair III was a master in efficiency, can the new 890FX chipset top the older generation? How does it pair with the new 6-Core Thuban CPU ? Let us go and explore this new addition to the Republic Of Gamer product line-up.
Let’s take a look on this socket AM3 motherboard from ASRock based on the new AMD 880G chipset, featuring on-board graphics and USB 3.0 ports.
Let’s take a look on this monster from MSI, a socket 1366 motherboard based on Intel X58 chipset with six PCI Express x16 slots, military-grade components, SATA-600 ports, USB 3.0 ports and more.
The new AMD 880G chipset is based on Radeon HD 4250 graphics engine, which is a slower version of the graphics engine used on AMD 890GX (Radeon HD 4290). This way 880G-based motherboards are cheaper than 890GX-based ones. AMD 880G chipset is normally paired with AMD SB710 south bridge chip, but on A88GM Deluxe the manufacturer decided to use SB850, which is the south bridge chip from AMD 890GX, providing native support for SATA-600 ports. This way A88GM Deluxe is one step above other motherboards based on the same chipset.
MSI have a reputation for making great motherboards and their previous 790FX GD70 board received much critical acclaim. Not willing to rest on their laurels however, they went back to the drawing board and made some changes with the 890FXA GD70 in regards to board layout. With the new AMD 890FX chipset and SB850 Southbridge complimenting the USB 3.0 and SATA 6gbps ports this board looks to be fully locked n’ loaded.
TechwareLabs takes a look at MSI's latest offering, the 890GXM-G65. Gearing towards both the HTPC and portable gaming market, does this board have what it takes to satisfy both groups or is it spreading itself too thin? Find out if this motherboard should be in your next build.
But as the push for more threaded (or we should say, better threaded) applications grow, the single core Atom was and is quickly being pushed out. At the beginning of this year (2010) Intel released their first dual core Atom CPUs. These were not just a pair of cores dropped into the CPU, though. Intel also dropped in Hyper Threading to allow for better multi-threaded performance. The new Atoms also finally received the x64 instructions and have had a GPU tacked on (although to some, this is not a good thing).
The Shrimps and other media were kindly invited to the lovely town of Utrecht in the Netherlands last week for the Asus Tech Conference. Head of Marketing and sales mister Wu Josh was present to present the latest two creations from Asus : the Crosshair 4 Extreme and the Rampage Gene III. Later on Milan Rado went a bit deeper regarding the high end Asus VGA cards. This is gonna be a quick preview of the two boards and the already leaked ROG Expander for the Rampage III Extreme.
ASUS Rampage III Extreme is a high-end socket 1366 motherboard based on Intel X58 chipset, with four PCI Express x16 slots, two SATA-600 ports, two USB 3.0 ports, lots of overclocking features, and more!
Klein, kleiner Mini-ITX. So könnte das Credo leistungsfähiger Mini-Systeme heißen. Gigabyte erweitert den Kreis von ITX Hauplatinen mit der Leistung größerer Geschwister (ITX Mainboard Übersicht Highend) nun um ein Modell mit dem neuen USB 3.0: dem GA-H55N-USB3.
