GIGABYTE TECHNOLGY Co. Ltd., a leading manufacturer of computer hardware like motherboards and graphics cards. They have launched their latest series of motherboards supporting the new AMD A75 series chipsets, and the latest AMD A-Series APUs. The Fusion A-Series combines a discrete-class Radeon HD GPU and either a dual- or quad-core CPU on the same die, though all of the A6 and A8 models are quad-core.
These 35- and 45-watt chips are also 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 allow for 108dB audio with 7.1 surround sound, and you can use Gigabyte’s Easy Tune 6 utility to realize Fusion’s promise of overclocking. They also use the company’s DualBIOS technology to prevent failure due to BIOS corruption, while each USB port has its own fuse to prevent port failure.

GIGABYTE A75 Series Feature Highlights
AMD A-Series APU Support
GIGABYTE A75 series boards features an AMD A75 ‘Hudson’ chipset supporting the latest 32 nanometer AMD A-Series APUs or Accelerated Processor Units. These processors are the first ever to combine a DX11-capable, high performance graphics processor with a choice of a dual or quad core CPU in one silicon die, offering a 3D gaming and multimedia experience similar 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 similar to 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 gain 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 an additional discrete AMD Radeon™ HD 6000 series graphics card to the system. This unique Dual Graphics technology means users can enjoy higher frame rates on the latest gaming titles, utilizing the processing power of both discrete and onboard graphics processors.
GIGABYTE Super4™ Motherboards
All GIGABYTE A75 series motherboards are part of the GIGABYTE Super4™ motherboard range, and as such are equipped with the very 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
．DualBIOS™ 3TB+ HDD Support (Hybrid EFI Technology)
．One Fuse per USB Port
．50,000 hr. Solid Capacitors
GIGABYTE Super Safe includes features that guard against system malfunction and ensure extended system longevity, including GIGABYTE DualBIOS™ to ensure that you never experience system failure due to BIOS corruption. Additionally, each USB port has its own dedicated power fuse that prevents unwanted USB port failure, helping to protect 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
．Ultra Durable™ design
．3 x USB Power Boost + On/Off Charge
GIGABYTE Super Speed ensures that you’re always on 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 without needing to use two USB ports. The additional power provided by 3 x USB Power allows iPad, iPhone and iPod devices to charge up to 40% faster compared to standard USB implementations, while On/Off charge allows fast device charging even when your PC is on standby or turned off.
Super Savings
．Lower RDS(on) MOSFETs
．Lower CPU Zone Temperature
．High Power-Efficiency
All GIGABYTE Super4™ motherboards are equipped with the very best quality components that ensure 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 which are beneficial for both end-users and the environment without impacting system performance.
Super Sound
．High-end 108dB HD Audio (3.5x better audio quality than standard PC audio solutions)
As the HD multimedia revolution continues to gain 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 is able to achieve 108dB noise ratio (SNR) playback quality. This means that users will enjoy a better audio experience with lower levels of noise and hiss when enjoying the latest HD content.
