Replacing the Front Side Bus is the new Quick Path Interconnect, or QPI, whose 25.6 GB/sec transfer rate (double the bandwidth of the 1600MHz FSB) eliminates the communication bottleneck between the processor and chipset.
    Intel® Core™ i7 processors also feature an integrated memory controller inside the processor die and support 192bit 3-channel DDR3 memory that delivers a 50% memory bandwidth enhancement and lower memory latency for incredibly fast memory access. Additionally, The EX58-EXTREME features Intel® Turbo Boost Technology, which is able to power down idle processor cores and dynamically reroute the power to the active cores for significant performance boosts, and at the same time, maintain greater energy efficiency.
  • Suport On/Off Charge
    Tehnologia GIGABYTE On/Off Charge permite încărcarea iPhone, iPad şi iPod Touch fie că PC-ul este pornit, în standby sau chiar oprit. Fiind derivată a tehnologiei apreciate GIGABYTE 3x USB Power, On/Off Charge permite echipamentelor să primeasca mai mult curent din porturile USB ale plăcilor de bază GIGABYTE faţă de cât permit porturile USB standard, astfel încât încărcarea din PC sa fie la fel de rapidă ca cea cu încărcător dedicat...mai mult
    *Din cauza anumitor limitări ale telefoanelor mobile, utilizatorii pot fi nevoiti să conecteze telefonul mobil la PC înainte ca PC-ul să intre în modul S4/S5 pentru a se permite încărcarea rapidă de la un port USB fără ON/OFF Charge. Rezultatele încărcării pot varia în funcţie de model.
    *Suportul pentru 3X USB power design poate varia în funcţie de model.

  • 2X Lower Impedance


    In addition, doubling the amount of copper lowers the PCB impedance by 50%. Impedance is a measure of how much the circuit impedes the flow of current. The less the flow of current is impeded, the less amount of energy is wasted. For GIGABYTE Ultra Durable 3 motherboards, this means total PCB electrical waste is reduced by 50%, which also means less heat is generated. 2 ounces of copper also provides improved signal quality, providing better system stability and allowing for greater margins for overclocking.
