AMD caused quite a stir when they released the Fusion set of APU's as it gave rival competition to Intel but with support for DirectX 11. Motherboard manufacturers were keen to jump on board producing Mini-ITX based boards around the E-350 APU. Shortly after the E-350 saga, AMD released the next in the APU line-up and this included the A8-3850, shortly followed by the slightly lower spec A6-3650 which differed by giving users a fully fledged socket, opposed to an all-in-one soldered APU like the E-350 had. This gave users a bit more flexibility in terms of upgrading the APU as and when they wanted or needed to.
That said, today I will be checking out another Z68 board in the Gigabyte Z68XP-UD5, a premium Z68 offering that retails for almost $100 more than the MSI mainboard. This time around, in addition to our standard review analysis, we will be comparing benchmarks between the two boards and against a P67 system to see the performance improvement that Intel's latest chipset brings to the table.
X79 has been on the tip of everyone’s tongues for quite some time, and with AMD not being the big hit that everyone thought it would be, Intel has gained a much bigger following than they first anticipated. Asus we knew would be one of the first to showcase what fantastic new boards they were going to release and whilst we knew the Pro and Deluxe would be available, we didn’t hear much about Sabertooth or ROG. We can now confirm, and after the fact that we saw it first hand at an exclusive Asus X79 event, that a Sabertooth board will be released.
The Rampage IV Extreme. We've already looked at it in preview form and the board looks the goods. It's also been the main board that's behind our 3960X launch coverage for the simple reason it looks to be one of the best available come launch day. Since everything is already sitting so nicely in the Rampage IV Extreme, it seemed like the perfect motherboard to look at first up. The ROG line of boards have a strong past and having already previewed the Rampage IV Extreme, it's pretty fair to say that they're going to have a strong future.
MSI has released four motherboard models for the new socket 2011 platform, the X79A-GD45, the X79MA-GD45, the X79A-GD65, and the X79A-GD65 (8D), targeted to the most high-end processor Intel offers for desktops today, the Core i7 "Sandy Bridge-E" models. Let's take a look at the X79A-GD65 (8D), which comes with five PCI Express x16 slots.
Heute wurde das ASRock Z68 Pro3 Gen3 Intel LGA1155 Sandy Bridge Mainboard bei der Redaktion ocinside.de getestet. Vor ein paar Monaten hatten wir das ASRock Z68 Pro3 Mainboard unter die Lupe genommen und obwohl das Z68 Pro3 bereits ausgezeichnet abgeschnitten hat, konnte ASRock nochmal nachlegen. Das ASRock Z68 Pro3 Gen3 basiert wie das Z68 Pro3 auf dem Intel Z68 Chipsatz und bietet eine preiswerte Lösung für aktuelle LGA1155 Prozessoren wie z.B. den Intel Core i7-2600K oder den sehr beliebten Intel Core i5-2500K Prozessor, mit dem wir das Mainboard getestet haben. Neu ist bei dem ASRock Z68 Pro3 Gen3 im Vergleich zum Z68 Pro3 nicht nur das veränderte Board Layout, sondern vor allem die Unterstützung von PCI-Express 3.0 Karten mit einer Ivy Bridge CPU und weitere neue Features, die wir uns im Test genauer ansehen werden.
Nachdem wir in den letzten Monaten, neben einigen Llano-Platinen, vor allem Sandy-Bridge Boards getestet haben, möchten wir zum Start in das neue Jahr mal wieder den Blick auf einige AM3+ Bretter werfen. Den Anfang macht dabei das Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3.
Die Platine ist mit dem AMD 970 Chipsatz zusammen mit der SB950 ausgerüstet und bietet 6 SATA3, zwei USB3 Ports und 2 Front-USB3 Ports, die über zwei EtronTech EJ168A Controller realisiert werden. Dazu gesellt sich 7.1 HD-Audio, FireWire, GB-Lan und USB 2. In Sachen Erweiterungsslots bietet das Board einen PEG Slot mit 16 Lanes, sowie einen zweiten Slot der nur mit 4 Lanes angebunden ist. Dazu gibt es drei PCIe 1x Slots und zwei PCI Slots.
Die "The Ultimate Force"-Baureihe von Asus setzt sich mittlerweile aus insgesamt sechs Modellen auf Basis verschiedenster Sockel- und Chipsatz-Typen zusammen. Der neuste Ableger kommt mit Intels LGA2011 sowie dem X79-PCH und komplettiert die drei aktuellen Board-Serien des Herstellers für Sandy-Bridge-E-Prozessoren. Dazu gehören neben den TUF- noch die "Republic Of Gamers"- und die P9-Platinen. Das Sabertooth X79 gehört dabei zur erstgenannten Gattung und soll mit einem intelligenten thermischen Design, widerstandsfähigen Komponenten nach Militär-Standard sowie einer besonderen Kühllösung für hohe Systemstabilität überzeugen.
The latest Intel Core i7 processors are class leading performers and we have already reviewed the i7-3820 and flagship i7-3960X Extreme Edition. Today we are looking at the 3930K which should offer much of the 3960X performance, at almost half the price. To power the system today we thought it was a good time to look at the Asus P9X79 WS Workstation motherboard. This follows in the footsteps of our previous Asus Rampage IV Extreme and P9X79 Deluxe motherboard reviews.
I'm sure you're all familiar with the theory of the Big Bang. The whole creation of the universe theory. Anything that uses the Big Bang name sure has a lot to live up to! MSI has released their second revision of the Big Bang XPower. The first XPower was the Intel X58 chipset, the MSI Big Bang XPower II is built around the latest and greatest Intel X79 chipset. Today we are going to take an in-depth look at the MSI Big Bang XPower II and put it through the paces. With any luck the MSI Big Bang XPower II will make a big bang in our tests and not just a little pop!
