GIGABYTE has been putting out quality motherboards for years now! Today we have the opportunity to look at the Flagship Intel P67 motherboard, the P67A-UD7-B3. With an impressive number of USB 3.0 ports and 24 phase power for the CPU the GIGABYTE P67A-UD7-B3 is sure to please. How will this flagship product stack up to the other Intel P67 motherboards we have tested? Read on to find out!
Today we will be taking a look at two AMD 990FX boards and comparing them to a similarly spec'd Z68 system to find out what the new boards offer in today's marketplace. As always we will be focusing on motherboard specific tests such as USB3, PCIe and SATA 6Gb/s tests with a few more general benchmarks thrown in for good measure.
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!
The Intel Z68 chipset combines the benefits of Intel 6th series chipsets, supporting processor built-in graphics, x8+x8 SLI/CrossFire configurations, and CPU and built-in graphics overclocking capabilities."
We've had quite a large focus on Intel lately with the shakeup of B3 revision boards and the recent launch of the Z68 chipset. Now gives a time where we can take a look at something new from AMD. Yes you heard right, AMD have launched something new; the 990FX chipset.
The long-awaited 990FX Chipset is finally here. The manufacturing partners have put together their offerings, each putting their personal touches to the design. Benchmark reviews is here with a look at the ASUS Crosshair V Formula 990FX motherboard and the all new 990FX Chipset. It's been a long time coming, and a full six months after the Intel P67-Express chipset means that AMD is behind the curve. A lot is expected of the new chipset and ASUS has a name to keep up with the Republic of Gamers series name.
Pour accompagner son architecture Sandy Bridge, Intel a comme à l'accoutumée, lancé des chipsets compagnons : les P67 Express et H67 Express destinés au grand public. Si le premier permet d'accéder aux fonctions d'overclocking avancées des CPU modèles "K", il est par contre incapable d'exploiter le GPU intégré à cette nouvelle architecture à contrario du second. Cependant, ce dernier se voit bridé au niveau des fonctions d'overclocking lui interdisant les changements de coefficients. Lorsque l'on ajoute à ces faits, l'attribution exclusive et plutôt discutable des IGP les plus rapides (HD 3000) aux seuls modèles "K", on se rend bien compte de l'incohérence de cette gamme de chipsets. Intel lance à présent le Z68 Express qui cumule les avantages de ses deux prédécesseurs et apporte quelques petits plus logiciels. Afin de l'éprouver, nous testons ce jour l'Asus P8Z68-V Pro, verdict ?
Over the past couple of months, we've taken a look at plenty of small form factor motherboards from some big brands including Asus, Gigabyte and Jetway, and they have all been designed with an all-in-one solution in mind. This is where we saw the likes of Intel Atom and more importantly AMD Fusion take its place in the market, and quite rightly so.
While ASUS and MSI have focused a lot of marketing energy promoting the new UEFI BIOS interfaces - UEFI is the BIOS that works with a mouse and adds room for enhanced graphical interfaces - Gigabyte has gone in another direction. The Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD5-B3 motherboard uses a traditional text-based BIOS but augments that with a Windows based hybrid-EFI BIOS called Touch BIOS.
Now that Intel's finally released the Z68 chipset, motherboard vendors are scrambling to meet the demand. With the odd restrictions of the P67 and H67 chipsets removed, the Z68 allows users to make use of Sandy Bridge integrated graphics as well as overclock their processors. Add Lucid's Virtu software for intelligent switching between the integrated GPU and a video card and Intel's Smart Response Technology for using an SSD as an intelligent cache for your main hard disk, and the features and advantages of a Z68 motherboard become very attractive. Benchmark Reviews looks at MSI's Z68A-GD80 motherboard in this review. MSI builds it with "military class" components, but does this make any real-world difference? Let's find out.
