Motherboard and graphics card manufacturer Gigabyte United plans to train partners on its new range of Dynamic Energy Saver motherboards, which, the company claimed, deliver power savings of up to 70 per cent and up to 20 per cent improved power efficiency.
Gigabyte will launch a series of regional events to promote the new product. "We'll undertake a series of events across India to train partners about the Energy Saver, once the financial year is over," said Arthur Liu, sales manager-Asia Region, Gigabyte United. The company also unveiled X48, X38 and P35-based motherboards.
According to Liu, the company aims to ship around 800 K motherboards in India in 2008. Fifty to 60 per cent of that shipment will consist of the Energy Saving motherboards. The Energy Saver is already available in the Indian markets at a slightly higher price than that of traditional motherboards.
The Dynamic Energy Saver features proprietary software and hardware design, including components from Intersil. The multi-gear power phase design of the product allows for efficient switching of power phases depending on CPU work loading. When the CPU work loading is light or at idle, the Dynamic Energy Saver downshifts gears and only allows the minimum required power phases needed to accomplish the task to operate. As soon as the workload increases, the motherboard is able to shift into higher gear, turning on power phases, as they are needed.
The motherboard interface allows users to turn on and off the power-saving features with a simple click of a button. The product enables users to see real-time CPU power consumption in Watts and also record the power saved in a set period.
