 Taipei, Taiwan, March 3, 2010 - GIGABYTE TECHNOLOGY Co., Ltd, a leading
manufacturer of motherboards, graphics cards and other computing
hardware solutions today proudly launched their latest AMD AM3 Socket GA-890GPA-UD3H motherboard, delivering loads of
performance enhancing bandwidth for applications such as high end gaming
and high speed data transfer on systems featuring new AMD 6 core CPUs.
The first motherboard featuring the AMD 890GX chipset paired with the
all new SB850 South Bridge, the GIGABYTE GA-890GPA-UD3H offers the
industry's first native support for Serial ATA 6Gbps for up to 6
devices. The AMD SB850 also offers the industry’s first Serial ATA 6
Gbps RAID support, allowing users to configure RAID 0,1,5 and 10 for
maximum data performance or enhanced data backup. Also equipped with
GIGABYTE 3x USB Power Boost and USB 3.0 support by utilizing the industry-leading
NEC® controller, the GIGABYTE GA-890GPA-UD3H ensures users
are ready to take advantage the next wave of high speed data transfer
and storage technologies.
"Giving users power over their high definition content is really at the
heart of what the GIGABYTE GA-890GPA-UD3H is all about," commented Tim
Handley, Deputy Director of Motherboard Marketing at GIGABYTE Technology
Co. Ltd. "Not only does the GA-890GPA-UD3H deliver the industry's
highest performing integrated graphics solution with flawless HD video
playback, but enabling SATA 6 Gbps with RAID functionality, USB 3.0
support and GIGABYTE 3x Power Boost means that users are able to spend
less time waiting for their content to transfer, and more time to
actually enjoy it."
The GIGABYTE GA-890GPA-UD3H also features the integrated ATI Radeon™ HD
4290 IGP (Integrated Graphics Processor) with DirectX 10.1 support and
128M DDR3 sideport memory, allowing for easy overclock of the default
700MHz GPU clock up to 1150MHz for a 3DMark06 score of 3300 or above,
which is 18% higher than the previous generation AMD 790GX chipset and
higher than any other IGP platform. The graphics potential of the board
is further extended with the addition of two PCI-E 2.0 x16 graphics
slots, allowing users to run ATI CrossFireX™ (running at x8,x8), or a
single card at x16 including the next generation DirectX 11 graphics
cards for some ATI Hybrid CrossFireX™ action, providing an enhanced
level of gaming performance, productivity and platform power efficiency.
 USB 3.0 Support
The GIGABYTE GA-890GPA-UD3H motherboard supports the latest
generation SuperSpeed USB 3.0 technology made possible through an
onboard NEC uPD720200 host controller. With superfast transfer rates of
up to 5 Gbps, users are able to experience an almost a 10x improvement
over USB 2.0. Additionally, backwards compatibility with USB 2.0 assures
users of long term use of their legacy USB 2.0 devices. The onboard NEC
SuperSpeed USB 3.0 technology also provides new power management
features that include increased maximum bus power and device current
draw to better accommodate power-hungry devices.
 3x USB Power Boost
The GIGABYTE GA-890GPA-UD3H motherboard features a 3x USB power boost,
delivering greater compatibility and extra power for USB devices.
GIGABYTE’s unique USB power design is also able to efficiently regulate
output over the full voltage range, which greatly enhances USB device
compatibility. In addition, dedicated lower resistance fuses ensure
lower voltage drops, and provide more stable and plentiful power
delivery.
 SATA 6 Gbps Support
Yet another onboard feature of the GIGABYTE GA-890GPA-UD3H motherboard
is its high-speed SATA Revision 3.0 compatibility, delivering superfast
6Gbps link speeds for twice the data transfer rates of SATA Revision 2.0
(3 Gbps). When used in RAID mode, the GIGABYTE GA-890GPA-UD3H
motherboard offers even faster data transfer rates compared to older
SATA interfaces.
