GIGABYTE formally launched its flagship AORUS Gen5 10000 series M.2 NVMe SSDs that take advantage of a PCI-Express 5.0 x4 interface. Currently, all AMD B650 series and X670 series motherboards offer a PCIe Gen 5 M.2 slot wired to the processor without eating into PEG bandwidth, while some Intel 700-series chipset motherboards offer Gen 5 M.2 slots by subtracting lanes from the PEG slot. AORUS Gen5 10000 for now comes in 1 TB and 2 TB capacities. The drives combine a Phison E26 series controller with 3D TLC NAND flash memory and LPDDR4 DRAM cache.

The 1 TB model offers sequential transfer speeds of up to 9.5 GB/s reads, with up to 8.5 GB/s writes, and 700 TBW endurance; whereas the 2 TB model is faster, with up to 10 GB/s sequential reads, up to 9.5 GB/s writes, and 1,400 TBW endurance. The drive's power consumption is under 10 W, and GIGABYTE has deployed a thoughtful fanless cooling solution for the drive that spares you from the annoying high-pitched noise of other upcoming Gen 5 M.2 SSDs that use fan-heatsinks. The company didn't reveal pricing, but mentioned that the drives are backed by 5-year warranties.

Professional overclocker HiCookie and GIGABYTE partnered to smash the memory overclocking record out of the park, with a jaw-dropping DDR5-11316 memory OC (5567.5 MHz memory clock). This memory OC record was achieved in a single-channel (single module) configuration, on a GIGABYTE Z790 AORUS Tachyon motherboard that has a 1DPC (one DIMM per channel) memory slot topology; while the processor in charge was a Core i9-13900K. A single 16 GB GIGABYTE AORUS DDR5 memory module was used, and the DDR5-11316 speed was achieved at timings of 64-127-127-127-127, with 2T command-rate; although the DRAM voltage remains unknown. The CPUID validation can be found here, and the HWBOT listing here.

AMD's entry-level A620 chipset for Socket AM5 motherboards is nearing launch, as manufacturers such as GIGABYTE and ASUS have started regulatory filing their upcoming products with the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC). These would hopefully bring the starting prices of AM5 motherboards down to the USD $125 figure AMD promised. AMD will sufficiently differentiate A620 from the B650, using specs such as the lack of CPU overclocking capabilities, only a handful PCIe Gen 3 downstream lanes, and the lack of PCIe Gen 5 on both the PEG and CPU-attached M.2 slots (which could at least be limited to Gen 4 if not Gen 3).

While the motherboards themselves may be cheap, the overall platform costs may still end up higher than Intel's H610 or upcoming H710 chipsets; as Socket AM5 lacks DDR4 memory support, and even at the entry-level you'll be forced to buy DDR5. That said, what A620 promises is platform longevity, that the platform will support future processor generations that launch even beyond 2025. AMD dropped a major hint on A620 chipset motherboards availability in its 2023 CES Keynote address, when it pointed to "65 W CPUs and entry-level motherboards" alongside each other. The 65 W Ryzen 7000 series processors are already out, which means A620 should be just around the corner. February 2023 is when AMD looks to launch its high-end Ryzen 7000X3D processors.

GIGABYTE TECHNOLOGY Co.

Here are some of the first pictures of a GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 4070 Ti custom-design graphics cards, the RTX 4070 Ti AERO. GIGABYTE targets the AERO brand of graphics cards, motherboards, and notebooks, at creators who like to game, hence the product design that's a lot less flashy than the company's AORUS or Gaming OC brands of graphics cards. An interesting aspect of this card is that it features a 16-pin ATX 12VHPWR connector, and includes an NVIDIA-supplied power adapter that converts two 8-pin PCIe power connectors to one 12VHPWR. We know this adapter is different from the 2x 8-pin to 12-pin adapter NVIDIA included with the RTX 3080 Founders Edition, looking at the four sensor pins.

The connector has keying for 300 W, and so the typical board power of the RTX 4070 Ti will be at or below 300 W. The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is essentially a re-branding of what would have been the RTX 4080 12 GB, had NVIDIA not decided to "unlaunch" it. The SKU maxes out the 4 nm "AD104" silicon, featuring 7,680 CUDA cores across 60 streaming multiprocessors (SM), 240 Tensor cores, 60 RT cores, 240 TMUs, and 80 ROPs. The chip features a 192-bit GDDR6X memory interface, which was at the heart of the RTX 4080 12 GB naming controversy.

GIGABYTE, the world's leading computer brand, is known for its stylish and high-performing motherboards, graphics cards, gaming monitors, and more. The award-winning products are praised by worldwide consumers for their class-leading build quality and performance.

GIGABYTE TECHNOLOGY Co. Ltd, a leading manufacturer of premium gaming hardware, today announced the new AMD Radeon RX 7900 Series graphics cards powered by the high-performance, energy-efficient AMD RDNA 3 architecture - the AORUS Radeon RX 7900 XTX ELITE 24G, Radeon RX 7900 XTX GAMING OC 24G, Radeon RX 7900 XTX 24G, Radeon RX 7900 XT GAMING OC 20G and Radeon RX 7900 XT 20G graphics cards. The new graphics cards will be available for purchase on December 13, 2022.

The new graphics cards are the world's first gaming graphics cards to feature an advanced AMD chiplet design, delivering exceptional performance and superb energy efficiency to power high-framerate 4K and higher resolution gaming in the most demanding titles.

Courtesy of VideoCardz, we now know what Gigabyte's and Sapphire's upcoming Radeon RX 7900-series cards will look like. Gigabyte will offer at least two different custom designed models, with the Aorus Elite being the higher-end one and the Gaming OC being the mainstream one. Both appear to come in RX 7900 XTX and RX 7900 XT SKUs. The Aorus Elite is said to be a 3.5-slot card sporting three 8-pin power connectors, whereas the Gaming OC is a 2.5-slot card with two 8-pin power connectors.

The Sapphire card in question is the Nitro+ which has been given a design overhaul compared to the Radeon RX 6000-series cards and it's quite a bright card thanks to its silver coloured shroud. We're once again looking at a massive cooler here, which is wider than three slots, but maybe not quite 3.5-slots wide. Unsurprisingly, Sapphire has kitted out the card with three 8-pin power connectors. None of the three cards have a USB-C port and it appears that those looking to get an AMD Radeon RX 7900-series card with a USB-C port, would have to go for the reference design cards.

More performance for GeForce RTX 4090! With the Eisblock Aurora, Alphacool presents new, innovative coolers for active water cooling of Gigabyte, ASUS, Palit as well as Gainward graphics cards. In order to dissipate the enormous waste heat of this graphics card generation as effectively as possible, numerous optimizations have been made to the water cooler compared to the previous models. The fin structure has been adapted and allows a very effective water flow while simultaneously increasing the cooling surface. The modified jet plate with improved inflow engine ensures optimum distribution of the water on the cooling fins.

The fully chrome-plated copper base is resistant to acids, scratches and damage. Additionally, the chrome plating provides homogeneity and shine that cannot be achieved by nickel plating. The illumination from the digitally addressable RGB LEDs is even better distributed throughout the cooler thanks to the chrome plating. The Aurora design of the GeForce RTX 40XX Eisblock Generation is visually quiet and sleek because only one O-ring runs around the entire cooler. Also, the design around the cooling fins and jetplate makes for a cleaner look.

Not entirely unexpected, pictures of the first B760 motherboard, or at least its packaging and the board inside the packaging, has made an appearance online. We're around a month or so from the expected announcement of Intel's more cost effective 700-series chipset, which will likely follow the Z790 chipset by adding more PCIe 4.0 lanes, but otherwise differ very little from the current B660 chipset.

No actual details were provided when it comes to the specs of the Gigabyte B760 Aorus Elite AX DDR4, but it's likely that this will be the last generation of DDR4 motherboards. This is because it's unlikely that Intel will support DDR4 memory on future desktop PC platforms. What we can spot through the antistatic bag, is a board design that is very similar to Gigabyte's current B660 Aorus Elite AX DDR4, but with a new motif on the chipset and NVMe drive heatsinks. In fact, the board layout appears to be near identical from what little we can see, but there are some clearly visible component placement that can be seen and compared to the current model. Hopefully we'll get some better pictures of this board in the near future from the leaker.

GIGABYTE TECHNOLOGY Co. Ltd, a leading manufacturer of motherboards, graphics cards, and hardware solutions, today announced to extend the instant 6 GHz technology designed for Intel Core i9-13900K and Core i7-13700K processors to the Z690 platform. By simply upgrading the latest BIOS of Z690 motherboards and activating the relevant settings, users can optimize their Intel Core i9-13900K and Core i7-13700K processors to 6 GHz for the performance boost on single-core up to 3%. This enables users who stay with the existing Z690 platform can enjoy the performance enhancement of the new CPU as well.

The latest Intel 13th gen processor has impressed users with its class-leading performance. GIGABYTE's Instant 6 GHz on the Z790 platform was renowned for unleashing the performance of Intel Core i9-13900K and Core i7-13700K processors for users in an easier way and is now employed on the Z690 platform. By simply upgrading the latest BIOS with Instant 6 GHz activated, the system can automatically tweak CPU voltage and Vcore Load Line Calibration of Intel Core i9-13900K and Core i7-13700K processors to detect the most two optimized cores running at 6 GHz frequency. This further delivers a 3% performance boost on one single core like the Z790 platform.

The world's leading computer brand, GIGABYTE, today officially announced the GeForce RTX 4080 series graphics cards will hit the market on November 16th. Built on NVIDIA's latest Ada Lovelace architecture, these new-gen graphics cards come with ultra-powerful performance and advanced cooling solutions that enthusiast gamers and creators seek. GIGABYTE offers a total of seven models to meet various demands, including the liquid-cooled AORUS XTREME WATERFORCE and the air-cooled AORUS MASTER, GAMING OC, AERO OC, and EAGLE OC.

Primed for extremely cool and quiet operations, the AORUS XTREME WATERFORCE graphics cards come in two variants - the open-loop model with a pre-installed water block and the closed-loop model featuring an all-in-one cooler. Both excel in delivering the ultimate gaming performance while keeping the temperature well in check with their optimized water channel and thermal designs, making them ideal for hardcore gamers or PC DIY enthusiasts looking to take their custom builds to the next level.

EK, the premium liquid cooling gear manufacturer, just launched the ultimate water cooling solution for the complete Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4080 lineup - Aorus Master, Gaming, Aero, and Eagle series GPUs. The EK-Quantum Vector² Master RTX 4080 D-RGB comes in the form of a water block with a black anodized aluminium backplate as an additional cooling surface.

The all-new Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4080 graphics cards are expected to be significantly more powerful than their 30-series counterparts. And while their efficiency is also improved, these cards still pull over 320 W, which means they will benefit even more from water cooling. This is especially true due to the 4 nm production process, which increases thermal density compared to the previous 8 nm chips.
