Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Llano-based PCs are still trickling their way into the market, but when you are the enterprising type you may just up and build your individual. Gigabyte just announced a family of 7 A75 series of motherboards, all of which fit with AMD’s spankin’ new Fusion A6 and A8 chips and A75 chipsets. To recap, the Fusion A-Series combines a discrete-class Radeon HD GPU and either a dual- or quad-core CPU at the same die, though the entire A6 and A8 models are quad-core. These 35- and 45-watt chips also are stereoscopic 3D-capable and support USB 3.0, DirectX11, OpenCL / OpenGL, and both 1600MHz DDR3 memory and lower-power 1333MHz DDR3L memory. As for the motherboards, they enable for 108dB audio with 7.1 surround sound, and you’ll use Gigabyte’s Easy Tune 6 utility to attain Fusion’s promise of overclocking. Additionally they use the company’s DualBIOS technology to forestall failure to do BIOS corruption, while each USB port has its own fuse to forestall port failure.

GIGABYTE Rolls Out A75 Motherboards For AMD Llano A8 and A6 APUs
Delivers Discrete-class Onboard Graphics Performance to Mainstream DIY PCs
2011/06/28

Taipei, Taiwan, June 28th 2011 – GIGABYTE TECHNOLGY Co. Ltd., a number one manufacturer of motherboards and graphics cards, today launched its latest series of motherboards supporting the hot AMD A75 series chipsets, and the most recent AMD A-Series APUs (codenamed Llano) which are set to take the sector by storm with the perfect graphics performance ever seen on an onboard graphicsprocessor. GIGABYTE A75 based motherboards offer DIY PC builders and integrators a brand new world of 3D and multimedia performance with the foremost scalable, and best value upgrade path imaginable.

“At GIGABYTE, we’re delighted to bring to market this new and exciting motherboard range, delivering our renowned durability and exceptional feature support to AMD’s ground breaking APU technology,” commented Henry Kao, VP of globally Service and Marketing at GIGABYTE. “In addition to bringing AMD A-Series technology to DIY users who demand excellent gaming and multimedia performance on the cheap, these motherboards also offer a compelling upgrade path featuring Dual Graphics configurations.”

GIGABYTE A75 Series Feature Highlights

AMD A-Series APU Support
GIGABYTE A75 series boards features an AMD A75 ‘Hudson’ chipset supporting the most recent 32 nanometer AMD A-Series APUs or Accelerated Processor Units. These processors are the primary ever to mix a DX11-capable, high performance graphics processor with a call of a dual or quad core CPU in a single silicon die, offering a 3D gaming and multimedia experience equivalent to a discrete graphics configuration.

AMD A-Series Graphics: Discrete-classOnboard Graphics
Supporting Microsoft® DirectX® 11, OpenGL 4.1 and OpenCL 1.1 standards, AMD A-Series graphics deliver a 3D gaming experience such as entry-level discrete graphics card solutions, with 3DMark Vantage (Performance setting) scores of around 4000 points. Using GIGABYTE’s Easy Tune™ 6 utility, users can overclock the AMD A-Series APU to achieve further performance enhancements over stock settings, offering 3DMark Vantage (Performance setting) scores of over 6000 points*.

AMD Dual Graphics: Unrivalled Upgradability

The AMD A75 series platform showcases AMD Dual Graphics technology, allowing users to further boost 3D graphics performance by adding a further discrete AMD Radeon™ HD 6000 series graphics card to the system. This unique Dual Graphics technology means users can enjoy higher frame rates at the latest gaming titles, utilizing the processing power of both discrete and onboard graphics processors.

GIGABYTE Super4™ Motherboards
All GIGABYTE A75 series motherboards are section of the GIGABYTE Super4™ motherboard range, and as such are equipped with the best components and a comprehensive range of unique features that guarantee flawless system stability and extended product longevity without compromising on performance, features and device connectivity.

Super Safe

ï¼DualBIOS™ 3TB+ HDD Support (Hybrid EFI Technology)

ï¼One Fuse per USB Port

ï¼50,000 hr. Solid Capacitors

GIGABYTE Super Safe includes features that guard against system malfunction and make sure extended system longevity, including GIGABYTE DualBIOS™ with the intention that you never experience system failure as a result of BIOS corruption. Additionally, each USB port has its own dedicated power fuse that stops unwanted USB port failure, helping to give protection to USB connected devices from malfunction and safe guard your important data during transfer. All Super4™ motherboards also use solid capacitors that guarantee system longevity with a minimum 50,000 hr lifespan.

Super Speed

ï¼Ultra Durable™ design

ï¼3 x USB Power Boost + On/Off Charge

GIGABYTE Super Speed ensures that you are always at the cusp of PC performance, data transfer and device charging speeds. GIGABYTE 3x USB power means better device compatibility and faster charging on USB connected devices like portable storage devices with no need to make use of two USB ports. The extra power provided by 3 x USB Power allows iPad, iPhone and iPod devices to charge as much as 40% faster in comparison to standard USB implementations, while On/Off charge allows fast device charging even if your PC is on standby or turned off.

Super Savings

ï¼Lower RDS(on) MOSFETs

ï¼Lower CPU Zone Temperature

ï¼High Power-Efficiency

All GIGABYTE Super4™ motherboards are equipped with the highest quality components that be sure that you PC is running at maximum power efficiency. Lower RDS(on) MOSFETs reduce energy wastage through unnecessary residual heat dissipation. This amounts to tangible energy savings that are beneficial for both end-users and our environment without impacting system performance.

Super Sound

ï¼High-end 108dB HD Audio (3.5x better audio quality than standard PC audio solutions)

Because the HD multimedia revolution continues to achieve momentum, so too must hardware standards in audio quality. All GIGABYTE Super4™ motherboards offer excellent 7.1 surround sound audio backed by a proprietary converter that’s capable of achieve 108dB noise ratio (SNR) playback quality. Which means users will enjoy a far better audio experience with lower levels of noise and hiss when enjoying the newest HD content.
