Asus unveils new M4A89GTD PRO motherboards with core processing power by enabling the instant unlocking of latent AMD CPUs launched in India.Asus M4A89GTD PRO motherboards supports both ATI CrossFireX and Hybrid CrossFireX technologies.Asus M4A89GTD PRO motherboards comes with advanced rendering from the DX10.1 graphics API, the series offers spectacular visual output. The motherboard supports Phenom II, Athlon II and Sempron 100 Series processors and comes with ATI CrossFireX, DX10.1, SATA 6Gb/s and USB 3.0 support. Asus is selling two motherboards – one with USB 3.0 and one without. The one with USB 3.0 will cost Rs. 12,500 and the other with only USB 2.0 will cost Rs. 10,500. The prices are without taxes.
"By supporting both integrated and discrete graphics processing, the M4A89GTD PRO Series delivers enhanced graphics performance that will excite and impress both hardcore gamers and multimedia users," said Joe Hsieh, General Manager of ASUS Motherboard Business.
The M4A89GTD PRO Series is the first motherboard to natively support next-generation SATA 6Gb/s throughput from its SB 850 chipset. It also includes two external USB 3.0 ports for ten times faster downloads, data backups or sharing of content. Additionally, as part of the Xtreme Design line-up, the M4A89GTD PRO Series delivers exceptional reliability, safety and performance.
A Simple Way to Boost Performance with Core UnlockerEquipped with an exclusive Core Unlocker feature, the M4A89GTD PRO Series allows users to enjoy an instant performance boost by simply turning on a switch on the motherboard. Doing so activates the latent AMD CPU cores and maximizes processing to triple- or quad-core for extreme performance-especially useful for supporting multitasking or intensive processing. By increasing the processing cores, users can also achieve up to 103% better overclocking performance.
Automatic Tuning to Optimize Core Processing
Users can turn up the system performance by using Turbo Key II to auto-tune the system to an extreme yet stable state. To unleash extra processing capabilities, users simply need to turn on the dedicated Turbo Key II switch on the motherboard to activate intelligent optimization.
Instant Graphics Acceleration with Integrated GPU Boost Tool
The M4A89GTD PRO Series includes a GPU Boost tool that instantly overclocks the integrated GPU in real time to deliver high-definition images at smooth frame rates. Its user-friendly interface also facilitates flexible frequency and voltage adjustments for more control over graphics optimization. Additionally, GPU Boost has the ability to store and load overclocking profiles.
Faster than Ever with Next Generation SATA 6Gb/s and USB3.0* Support
The M4A89GTD PRO Series natively supports next-generation SATA 6Gb/s transfers, for twice the throughput of the previous SATA 2 specification, to accelerate the transmission of rich content and multimedia files. SATA 6Gb/s is also backward compatible with SATA 3Gb/s hard drives. Additionally, with USB 3.0 support, the M4A89GTD PRO/USB3 delivers up to ten times the data rate of the previous USB 2.0 standard-for faster data transfers from external digital devices. Users can now save a 25GB HD movie or a 4MB song in less than 70 seconds or 0.01 seconds respectively.
