Intel's Sandy Bridge CPUs have breathed new life into the computer industry by providing an incredibly fast and smart processor that can appeal to mainstream users by condensing and simplifying a lot of options. The biggest barrier to entry in the PC realm has been the complexity issue, and this was definitely a step in the right direction. However, this was not something everyone was too happy about, as many enthusiasts disliked the way Intel had limited overclockability by only allowing K-series CPUs to be modified, and even then, were limited to the very basic of options.
Intel's Sandy Bridge CPUs and their accompanying Cougar Point chipsets brought a new level of price/performance to the enthusiast market. There was just one problem: you had to choose between a motherboard with the H67 chipset, which enabled the on-CPU graphics and Intel's new Quick Sync transcoding engine, or a motherboard based on the P67 chipset, which enabled the amazing overclocking ability of the "K"-series CPUs. You could have one, or the other, but not both...until now. Intel's new Z68 chipset gives the enthusiast both capabilities in a single platform, and ASUS throws in their own enhancements to create one of the most impressive motherboards Benchmark Reviews has ever seen.
Il sera ainsi souvent accompagné de la solution Virtu de Lucid Logix chez les constructeurs, tout comme il sera capable de gérer la nouvelle fonctionnalité Smart Response. Celle-ci permet d'utiliser un SSD comme cache géant pour le disque dur, et donc de profiter à la fois de la réactivité de l'un, et de la capacité à faible coût de l'autre.
Z68 im Test: Mehr Overclocking-Potenzial, Strom sparen dank Virtu, Arbeitsgeschwindigkeit steigern mit SSD-Caching, die Stärken von P67 und H67 vereint - große Erwartungen ruhen auf Intels neuem Mainboard-Chip Z68 für Sockel-1155-Mainboards (Sandy Bridge). Nicht alle kann er erfüllen und dennoch ist der Z68 die beste Chip-Wahl für Sandy-Bridge-Käufer. Warum? Das klärt unser Test.
Heute, am 11. Mai 2011 bringt Intel seinen neuesten Chipsatz namens Z68 auf den Mark und wir konnten bereits im Vorfeld das umfangreich ausgestattete Mainboard MSI Z68A-GD80 (B3) ausführlich testen. Hat sich das Warten gelohnt? Ist der Z68 wirklich der ideale Chipsatz für Intels Sandy-Bridge-CPUs?
The Intel Z68 is a very strange chipset in that it combines the overclocking features of the P67 and graphical features of the H67 into a single chipset. They have also added some key technologies that help differentiate it from the versions and make it better at the same time.
Having already previewed three boards that use the Z68 chipset, we already have a good idea of what's going on with the new chipset launched by Intel today. If you haven't already looked at our previews, I'd recommend checking out the ASRock Z68 Pro3 and Extreme4 Preview along with the MSI Z68A-GD80 Preview to get a better idea of what exactly we're dealing with here today.
Today we have the launch of Intel's new socket 1155 chipset, the Z68 which brings with it a plethora of new motherboards. On our test bench we have two separate approaches; the first is Gigabyte's enthusiast Z68X-UD7-B3 and the second, the ASUS P8Z68-V Pro which is aimed at mainstream consumers. Let's find out how they compete against the P67 and 890FX...
After looking at the P67-UD7 board from Gigabyte, we were left with a feeling of excitement and joy knowing that we had a fantastic product at our disposal, and we assumed that nothing better could come along. Whilst that feeling was great, it was also short lived quick quickly.
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.
