ASUS
today announced the launch of a new motherboard series based on the
Intel® H57 and H55 chipsets. The ASUS P7H57D/P7H55 Series
supports the new
Intel® Core™ i7, Core™ i5, Core™
i3, and Pentium® processors with three ATX and
four mATX models to provide the best value for the new LGA1156
platform.
Featuring exclusive GPU Boost technology, the series delivers a rich
visual
experience for enhanced HD gaming. Built with Xtreme Design features,
the
P7H57D/P7H55 Series delivers optimized and energy-efficient
performance. The
P7H57D-V EVO also supports next-generation USB 3.0 and SATA 6G
technology for
faster data throughput and better storage performance.
Powerful Graphics Acceleration with GPU
Boost Technology
The P7H57D/P7H55 Series features GPU
Boost technology designed to kick
visual performance into overdrive. This graphics acceleration feature
delivers
an instant 50% performance boost to the onboard Intel® HD
Graphics processor to
support high-definition frame rates that add realism to a
user’s gaming
experience. GPU Boost also includes advanced overclocking
options—easily
accessed through an intuitive user interface—for users to
control graphics
acceleration parameters to achieve an even more stunning visual
performance.
Additionally, GPU Boost helps lower energy consumption through the use
of the
ASUS Energy Processing Unit (EPU) engine—a comprehensive
power saving system.
The EPU detects the onboard HD graphics processor load and
intelligently
moderates power output in response to varying requirements.
Fastest Data Throughput with True USB
3.0 and SATA 6G Technology
Users can expect ultra-fast data
transfers with the latest bandwidth
technology support. A Unique PCIe X4 Bridge Chip delivers true SATA 6G
and USB
3.0 performance that maximizes the transfer rates of SATA 6Gb/s hard
drives and
delivers data transfer speeds ten times that of current USB 2.0
standards. Such
significant improvements enable users to transfer a 25GB HD movie file
in 70
seconds or save a 4MB song in less than 0.01 seconds.
Optimized Performance with Xtreme Design
Hybrid Features
With Xtreme Design innovations such as
Hybrid Processors, the P7H57D-V
EVO/P7H55-M Series delivers intuitive and real-time overclocking as
well as
automatic performance tuning. Additionally, an enhanced CPU Level Up
feature
enables users to instantly upgrade their processor via a simple click.
This
upgrade does not involve the purchase of additional hardware or
software—giving
an instant performance boost at no extra cost.
