GIGABYTE announces AM1 series motherboards

MUMBAI, INDIA: GIGABYTE TECHNOLOGY has announced official support for next generation AMD Athlon and Sempron APUs based on the highly anticipated ‘Kabini' SOC architecture. GIGABYTE ‘Kabini' support includes the all new GA-AM1M-S2P and GA-AM1M-S2H motherboards based on the AM1 motherboard platform.

GIGABYTE AM1 Series motherboards showcase a number of features and technologies that separate them from the competition, including GIGABYTE RTC Clock IC and Ultra Durable 4 Plus.

GIGABYTE RTC Clock IC: The all new ‘Kabini' APU's CMOS functions have been integrated into the APU; this means that when the user removes the APU, all CMOS settings revert to factory defaults. Even with the battery in place, users will lose settings such as the current time.

GIGABYTE's AM1 motherboards solve this issue by including a secondary RTC Clock IC onboard, so that even when the APU is removed, the CMOS settings are retained.

GIGABYTE Ultra Durable 4 Plus: GIGABYTE AM1 motherboards also provide enhanced durability compared to competitive offerings with inclusion of Ultra Durable 4 Plus technology, delivering a range of features and component choices that provide optimal performance, cool and efficient operation and extended motherboard lifespan.

Ultra Performance: GIGABYTE uses All Solid Caps (Capacitors) and Low RDS(on) MOSFETs which are rated to work at higher temperatures to provide a longer lifespan. Specially designed to produce lower switching for faster electric current charging and discharging, Low RDS(on) MOSFETs have lower power consumption during the switching process, resulting in a faster switching process and less heat generation.
