Four processing cores offer amazing performance and new capabilities
Taipei, Taiwan, December 6, 2006 – Elitegroup Computer Systems (ECS), the world's leading motherboard, barebone system, and notebook manufacturer, has released several motherboards geared for the new Intel® Core™2 Quad processors. From higher quality gaming, photo and video editing, to better support for the newest operating systems like Windows® Vista™, these platforms meet the demand for more computing power. With four processing cores, the Intel Core 2 Quad processor is the undisputed multitasking champion, delivering twice the performance for highly-threaded apps. ECS quad-core motherboards include the PN2 SLI2+, a "must-have" for gamers and enthusiasts, the PX1, a quiet and powerful entertainment-focused solution, and the P965T-A, the best cost for performance quad-core solution available.
Fast FSB and large L2 cache
People simply want to do more with their PCs. With a blazing-fast Front Side Bus (FSB) up to 1066 MHz and four processing cores, these ECS motherboards are perfect for gamers and graphics-intensive media creators, plus nicely support the increase of streaming media, high-definition video and highly-threaded applications increasingly common with PCs. The CPU's large shared L2 cache provides even quicker access to data than previous dual or single core solutions. ECS quad-core motherboards allow people to do more and enjoy more PC performance than ever before.
Speed, efficiency and innovation
The Intel Core 2 Quad processor offers amazing performance along with energy efficiency and a lower thermal output. With more cores doing the work, performance is maximized, while power consumption and heat output are kept to a minimum. This has resulted in cooler, quieter running systems, without need for extra large and loud cooling fans. At the heart of this performance are innovative features like Intel's Wide Dynamic Execution Engine and Advanced Digital Media Boost to increase speed, Intelligent Power Capability for improved efficiency, and Advance Smart Cache and Smart Memory Access for better system responsiveness. When Intel Core 2 Extreme Quad processors are compared to current Core 2 Extreme Dual Core processors, users can expect up to an 80% performance increase for highly threaded applications, a 58% performance increase when playing HD video, and a 57% performance increase in high-end 3D gaming. These quad-core processors are showing industry leading 3DMark benchmark tests that have gamers and enthusiasts anxiously waiting.
Quad-core ready solutions
Along with this quad-core performance, these motherboards also offer great features like DDR2 800 memory, PCI Express Graphics, SATAII with RAID support, HD Audio, Gigabit LAN and a full range of I/O that make these well rounded performance motherboards.
