The idea behind Intel's SRT was that you could use a smaller SSD drive, say 20GB, and combine that with a larger traditional mechanical drive and the SSD drive would be used as cache which would in turn be faster than just having everything run off the mechanical drive. Overall, it was never going to be as fast as a true SSD-only drive for everything, but it's never going to be as expensive either.
While everyone waits with baited breath for AMD to release their new range of processors, we felt it was a good time to have a look at another Intel Z68 motherboard – the Gigabyte Z68X-UD7-B3. Gigabyte have earned a good reputation in the industry over the years for producing quality motherboards, alongside MSI and Asus.
The GIGABYTE Z68X-UD7-B3 motherboard is the latest in a long line of Intel motherboards. Built on the Intel Z68 Express chipset the GIGABYTE Z68X-UD7-B3 supports the latest second generation of Intel Core iX series of processors. So with out a doubt we are going to see some performance! Something's missing though! What is it? Read on to find out what!3
Earlier this month GIGABYTE invited us over to check out both the Z68X-UD7-B3 and Z68X-UD3H-B3 Motherboards in Taiwan. Because the preview on the GIGABYTE boards wasn't done in house and didn't include the contents of the package nor our standard photo line-up, we'll be covering the board as we would normally cover one that we hadn't previewed.
Gigabyte released 11 motherboard models based on the new Intel Z68 chipset. With prices ranging from USD 120 to USD 350, there is a model for any kind of user. Let's take a look at one of the most high-end models, the Z68X-UD5-B3, which can be bought today for USD 270.
Llano, Bulldozer, Ivy-Bridge, Sandy Bridge-E: all diese tollen und erscheinenden Technologien wurden bzw. werden künftig beleuchtet. Doch aber zuvor wird noch einmal ein Blick auf Intels Chipsatz geworfen, der das Technologiejahr 2011 einleitete: Sandy Bridge. Erst als P67 und dann später mit integrierter Grafikausgabe verkauft der Z68-Chipsatz. Alle namenhaften Mainboard-Hersteller haben ihren Platinen ein Revisionsupdate unterzogen. Der nachfolgende Bericht befasst sich mit dem Gigabyte Z68X-UD5-B3. Wie sich die Platine im Praxistest schlug, klärt der nachfolgende Bericht.
Gigabyte released 11 motherboard models based on the new Intel Z68 chipset. With prices ranging from USD 120 to USD 350, there is a model for any kind of user. We've already seen one of the most expensive models, the Z68X-UD5-B3. Today we are taking a look at one of the mid-range models, the Z68X-UD3H-B3, which supports the Virtu technology.
The much riled and awaited Sandy Bridge platform and Cougar Point chipset were released at the beginning of January, signalling the start of a dominant new era for Intel. Indeed, with AMD’s upcoming Bulldozer lineup still in the process of rolling out, Intel theoretically had six months to saturate and hold a firm grip in the consumer market. The timing could not have been better; a new year, the start of a new decade, and a new architecture released during the holiday season, a time when most consumers are ready to spend their saved up money on a new build, or upgrade. The pieces were in place...but not all of them fell in the right places.
Just before the launch of the Intel Z68 chipset, we had the opportunity to preview the Z68X-UD7-B3 and Z68X-UD3H-B3 Motherboards in Taiwan. Earlier this week we did a full review on the GIGABYTE Z68X-UD7-B3 Motherboard and if you're interested in a really top end Z68 board, I'd highly recommend checking that review out, especially if you're interested in a multi GPU setup
GIGABYTE has been extremely aggressive with the new Z68 chipset and it's very much out with the old and in with the new. Over the past few weeks the GIGABYTE Z68 boards have been the ones to show up a lot in corner stores for sale. And after hearing that they hope to achieve 80% of channel stocking at launch, it makes sense.
