14 DAY TRIAL // Gigabyte has just unveiled a new line of energy-efficient motherboards built with Intel's latest chipsets on the market, the X38 and the X48. The Dynamic Energy Saver motherboards are alleged to save up to 20 percent in terms of power, at the push of a single button.
"With more than one year of intensive design and testing, GIGABYTE's Dynamic Energy Saver represents a truly amazing revolution in motherboard development," said Johnson Lin, CEO GIGABYTE UNITED INC . "With one little click, users are able to take advantage of up to 70% CPU power savings without sacrificing computing performance. Imagine the potential for power savings on a global scale if every motherboard in the world was able to provide similar power savings."
The motherboards in the new series are designed using a proprietary "recipe", including high quality components from well-known manufacturers such as Intersil. Gigabyte has implemented the multi-gear power phase design that allows for efficient switching of the power phases depending on the system effective workload.
The new technology allows the computer to maintain an optimum power balance and turn off the power phases that are not currently needed. When the workload goes up, Dynamic Energy Saver starts turning on the required power phases in a manner that resembles a car's gearbox.
The dynamic Energy Saver enabled motherboards come with a LED display welded onto the motherboard's PCB that reflects the dynamic gear shifting in real-time. A color-coded LED lights up or turns down each time there are modifications in the power consumption.
Coupled with Intel's 45-nanometer quad-core processors, the Gigabyte Dynamic Energy Saver motherboards deliver the best performance at the lowest power consumption on the market. The Dynamic Energy Saver initiative focuses on both energy savings for home or corporate computing as well as on reducing the impact everyday computing has on the environment.
