Stephen Foxconn Inferno Katana P55 @ NinjaLane
“In this review we will be looking at one of the most anticipated motherboards of 2009, the Quantum Force P55 Inferno Katana. The name Inferno Katana may have a slight Ninja connotation, but we suspect the name was actually derived from the previous Quantum Force motherboard called the Flaming Blade.”
ASUS P6T-SE @ Vortez
“In conclusion the P6T-SE is simply a good, no nonsense motherboard! If you need raw processing power then it’s definitely a good option but for the majority of users i’d imagine a P55 style system may be the more desirable choice. As a result of this i choose to award it our ‘Silver’ award.”
Gigabyte GA-H57M-USB3 @ Guru3D
“Gigabyte was one of the first out there to ship out one of their H57 based motherboards. The Gigabyte H57 series offers a little more in the form of RAID support while it also packs a little more punch which we’ll look at in this review of course. A more interesting feature on this GA-H57M-USB3 motherboard is that it also contains USB 3.0 through an onboard NEC uPD720200 host controller and very excessive display connection options like DVI, HDMI and DisplayPort.”
GPU Computing – Review and Analysis @ Planet 3DNow!
“Massively parallel processing of data can also be found in the environment of the mainframe, where a lot of computing power is concentrated in one location (data center), which is very high demands on the operator provides (cooling & Programming logistics), and consumes enormous amounts of money to buy and operate.”
Intel Core i5 661 Dual Core @ Think Computers
“For 2010, Intel has introduced a new line of processors code named “Clarkdale”, and will be known as the Core i5 600 series. At this point there are four processors in this series, the 650, the 660, the 670, and the 661. Today I will be looking at the Intel Core i5 661, a dual core LGA 1156 processor built in the 32nm process, with on-die video processing.”
Unlocking the X2 555 BE @ Pure Overclock
“How does a full-featured Phenom II X4 CPU for $99 sound? AMD’s new dual core hotrod, the X2 555 BE, is actually an X4 in disguise and just needs a bit of help to unlock those two extra cores for all the performance goodness you can dream about at bargain prices. We successfully unlocked the X2 555 BE and we’ll tell you how today and show the resulting performance increase.”
Jetway Kuroshio BI-700 @ HardwareZone
“With Intel’s new dual-core processors, there will be Nehalem-based processors for almost every segment. The Intel P55 chipset remains the choice for Intel’s mainstream quad-cores but what about the motherboards? What’s a cheap but decent P55 motherboard? We find out if the Jetway Kuroshio BI-700 fits the bill.”
ASUS M4A785G HTPC/RC @ iXBT Labs
“The board is definitely original, but at the same time practical enough for a home theater. It has a complete set of peripheral interfaces, high-quality integrated audio, up-to-date graphics core, and, finally, a universal remote.”
ASUS Maximus III Gene @ PC Perspective
“ASUS continues to push the envelope in terms of performance, overclocking, and the amount of hardware they can fit on this form factor too. The included SupremeFX X-Fi audio chip, dual PCI-E x16 slots, and unique innovations to the memory DIMMs are just a few features that will enhance any gamer or HTPC user’s experience with this motherboard.”
Gigabyte SATA 6G Update – RAID 0 @ TweakTown
“When we tested the ASUS P55 and GIGABYTE P55 boards with USB 3.0 and SATA 6G, we found some interesting numbers when using the GIGABYTE P55A-UD4P in RAID 0. For the most part we didn’t see much of an improvement when going from a single to a dual drive configuration with RAID 0. GIGABYTE also noticed the same issue and quickly went to work with Marvell to find a solution.”
