ASUS have come with a line of new motherboards - ten in total with the P67 Express
chipset, and 7 with H67 Express, and more will probably come as time goes. So we have
looked at one of the boards with the new P67 Express chipset, and in this case it was
the ASUS P8P67.
Walk into AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint, or any electronic store and you will find an increasing number of smart phones and a dwindling number of basic phones. There is, however, still a need for basic phones that are focused on making and receiving calls. Luckily there are still a few available. We decided to take a look at LG's newest offering in this venue - the LG Accolade VX5600.
So far, ASRock has released four motherboard models based on the Intel Z68 chipset. The Fatal1ty Z68 Professional Gen3, which is the model we are taking a look at, is the highest-end model offered by ASRock. The manufacturer also offers a mainstream model, the Z68 Pro3, a top mid-range model, the Z68 Extreme4, and a miniATX model, the Z68 Pro3-M.
The most appealing thing about the Intel D510MO Mini-ITX motherboard with 1.66GHz Intel Atom dual core processor was that it could be used as the core of a completely silent system. Since the board is passively cooled, you can pick other passively cooled or solid state components for a build that generates absolutely zero noise.
With Z77 fast approaching, we take a look at the Gigabyte Z77M-D3H to see what it has to offer.
Motherboards
We've just received Foxconn's Blood Rage motherboard - and we've churned out a first look at it as fast as possible. We will, of course, be going through this interesting motherboard in greater detail in our upcoming X58 motherboard roundup.
Ende 2011 erschien der langersehnte Bulldozer von AMD auf dem europäischen Markt. Die neue FX-Prozessorfamilie soll aufgrund der großzügigen Kompatibilität seitens AMD auch auf der vorangegangenen AM3 Plattform laufen, jedoch mit leichten Einschränkungen. Selbstverständlich belässt der US-Konzern es nicht dabei und schieb nun den Sockel AM3+ nach, der als offizieller Nachfolger sowie als Vollendung des, fast drei Jahre alten AM3, gilt. Als neuer Chipsatz soll auf den AM3+ Platinen die AMD 9xx Serie ihren Einsatz finden. Wie schon bekannt, schickt AMD zuerst einen Low End- (970), einen Mid Range (990X), sowie einen High End-Chipsatz (990FX) ins Rennen. Wir möchten uns in diesem Roundup mit letzterem beschäftigen.
Der Mainboardhersteller ASRock stellte erst kürzlich ein leicht abgespecktes Modell seiner Baureihe mit AMDs 900-Chipsatz in Form des 990FX Extreme3 vor. Diese neue Hauptplatine bildet den Einstieg im hauseigenen Oberklassesegment für die Phenom-, Athlon- und Sempron-Prozessoren, soll zudem aber auch die volle Kompatibilität zu den erst seit Kurzem erhältlichen Bulldozer-CPUs bieten. Deshalb prüfen wir in diesem Test, wie sich die günstige Platine besagten FX-8150 schlägt und ob das 990FX Extreme3 trotz kleiner Kritikpunkte am Ende doch überzeugen kann.
We tested the Intel D525MW Mini-ITX motherboard, which comes with an on-board Atom D525 CPU. Let’s check how it performs.
AMD are rumoured to be exiting the high end desktop market with the FX series of processors on the AM3+ socket expected to be AMD’s last range of standalone CPU products. Of course the main reason for that decision by AMD, if it does turn out to be true, is that AMD simply cannot compete with Intel at the highest end market segment. However, when it comes to APUs AMD have a distinct advantage thanks to the advanced integrated graphical performance and so AMD’s APU platform isn’t going anywhere any time soon. AMD’s current APU products for the desktop platform are codename “Richland” and they bear the AX-6XXX monikers. The predecessors to those were “Trinity” which were of the AX-5XXX naming system. Of course Trinity and Richland APUs are virtually identical – using the same graphics VLIW4 architecture and the same 32nm Piledriver CPU cores, the main difference between the two is higher clock speeds and improved power efficiency. They are physically identical, both supporting the FM2 and FM2+ sockets on the A55, A75, A85X and A88X chipsets.
What’s coming after Richland is Kaveri, expected early next year Kaveri will run on the FM2+ socket with A88X and A85X motherboards. Today we have with us one of those newer Kaveri-Ready AMD desktop APU motherboards running off the A88X chipset. Of course the fact Kaveri isn’t here yet means we are using AMD’s best Richland APU, the A10 6800K, to test this motherboard as AMD Trinity and Richland APUs are compatible with all FM2+ motherboards. Specifically we are reviewing Gigabyte’s G1 Sniper A88X motherboard today, this motherboard is Gigabyte’s best gaming offering for AMD’s APU platform featuring support for Trinity, Richland and Kaveri APUs, up to 64GB of 2400MHz memory, high quality audio with interchangeable op-amps, CrossFire support and support for up to 8 SATA III 6Gbps devices. Gigabyte have certainly left no stone unturned as they have tried to cram every feature a gamer could want into an attractively priced package. Below you can see the full specifications of this motherboard:
