The ECS will support AMD Motherboards Memory Profile

ECS has announced to be the first manufacturer to implement on their motherboards support technology AMD Memory Profile (AMP). This new feature designed by AMD, which is reminiscent of the XMP from Intel, will optimize the performance, compatibility and efficiency of DDR3 platforms for the next generation. The 'company has worked closely with AMD and, according to earlier statements, will provide users with outstanding performance and ability to operate at very high frequencies limiting consumption.

The first to benefit from the AMP board is ECS ' A85F2-A Deluxe , then follow this new model, which surely will come with DDR3 memory kits optimized for the new technology. We think that with the new FX series processors (8300) we will see the first high-end solutions with frequencies that can compete with Intel Ivy Bridge.

Watching those first screenshot BIOS can not confirm the similarity between the AMP and XMP technology, when you enable the feature loads a default profile that, according to the model, automatically sets frequency, voltage and timing.

ASUS has released two series of motherboards with support for Thunderbolt P8Z77

ASUS has announced two new motherboards with support for increasingly popular technology Thunderbolt . According to the manufacturer, model P8Z77-V PREMIUM was first to market with the appropriate certification of Intel.

 

Combines high speed data transfer and high-definition video on the same cable at speeds up to 10 Gbit / s. As a standard USB, Thunderbolt technology involves connecting multiple devices in a single chain.

 

The board P8Z77-V PREMIUM lead portfolio decisions based on chipset Intel Z77. It will have four slots PCI-E 3.0 x16 for NVIDIA SLI configurations, and AMD CrossFireX, wireless module Wi-Fi, two Gigabit Ethernet adapter and an external module with two ports USB 3.0.

 

The package includes a solid state drive with 32GB mSATA interface and support for technology SSD Caching II, Intel Smart Response and Rapid Start, which allows your PC boot-up time and improve the overall system performance.

 

Model P8Z77-V PRO / THUNDERBOLT has a more modest facilities, which in turn have a positive impact on the price. Make notes in the presence of both boards the power subsystem SMART DIGI + Power Control, features Wi-Fi GO! Fan Xpert, and 2.

Intel DZ77RE: The original motherboard design Thunderbolt

The site Donanimhaber.com shows a slide that shows the roadmap of the upcoming motherboards Intel chipset 7 series, designed for the next Intel Ivy Bridge 22nm LGA in 1155. So far nothing new except that the slide is shown an interesting news regarding the high-end motherboard DZ77RE, the first and only series that will integrate the new interface Thunderbolt to 10 Gbps.

Do not know if the slide is plausible because the choice seems somewhat anomalous since we expect this "integration" on a platform shall be such as Extreme Ivy Bridge LGA 2011.We can do is wait for further news or denials.

Intel S4600LH: motherboard server with 1 TB of RAM

Intel is working on a new motherboard for servers (code-named "Lizard Head Pass") that would be able to "accommodate" up to 1 TB of RAM. The ' S4600LH is designed mainly for high performance computing and provides up to 48 DIMM slots.

The board supports 8-core Xeon processors E5-4600 series Sandy Bridge-EP, led by Intel C600 "Patsburg" that can handle up to 8 ports and 2 SATA SCU 3 (6 Gb / s). The board also has two PCI-Express 3.0 x48, one PCIe x8, Intel LAN support VT. It will all be available in the second quarter of 2012 at a price still unknown but certainly not accessible to the "classic" users.    Via Vr-Zone

Intel DX79TO: motherboard processors Sandy Bridge-E

Intel is trying to interest processors Sandy Bridge-E not only enthusiasts, but also to ordinary users, and is preparing to enter the motherboard market DX79TO, which is a budget option DX79SI . The cost of new items is $ 230.

 

What also had to sacrifice? Changes undergone cooling system, radiator controls the CPU power is not connected to the radiator heat pipe chipset, like a big sister DX79SI. Instead, the third slot PCI Express 3.0 x16 (x8), has received new slot PCI Express x1, and eight-six-channel sound system replaced. The panel interface, users also were missing optical output SPDIF.

The number of Ethernet adapters with two reduced to one, and the number of USB 3.0 ports from four to two, but still an access control system and installs perfectly supported. Other components remained in place. Among them, and eight slots for memory type DDR3 that can accommodate up to 64 GB of RAM.
