Foxconn release new A75 Series motherboards

Foxconn today launches its latest series of motherboards supporting the new AMD A75 series of chipsets, and the latest AMD A-Series APUs (codenamed Llano) with two mainboards, the A75M and the A75A.

Both boards feature the AMD A75 Hudson chipset and support the latest 32 nanometer AMD APUs as well as USB 3.0 and SATA3. The powerful combination of AMD Turbo Core technology, DirectX 11 technology and Dual Graphics will give users one of the most powerful visual experiences.

• AMD Turbo Core Technology—

A series APU including A4/A6/A8 are AMD’s newest creation and all are equipped with AMD's new Turbo CORE technology 2.0.  Turbo CORE increases APU performance by dynamically adjusting processor speeds for the best application performance within thermal and power limits.

• DirectX 11 & Dual Graphics—

Dual Graphics Technology utilizes the power of both the APU graphics and the discrete GPU to deliver increased performance. Combining this technology with DirectX 11 will deliver an excellent graphics experience.

• AMD Radeon™ HD6xxx & UVD 3.0—

Both AMD Radeon™ HD6xxx & UVD 3.0 Technologies provide users with high definition video playback with 30Mb/s HD-DVD and 40Mb/s Blu-Ray.

• Support USB 3.0, SATAIII—

Both boards are equipped with USB 3.0 and SATA III to take advantage of the new technologies. USB 3.0 not only doubles the bandwidth of the PCIe interface from Gen 1 to Gen 2 but also delivers up to ten times faster throughput than the previous USB 2.0 standard.

• Support 3D display, HDMI 1.4(A75M only), Support 7.1 HD Audio ,Optical S/PDIF Out —

The Foxconn A75M motherboard features HDMI 1.4, giving you support for 3D video playback. The boards feature a comprehensive range of video output options, such as HDMI/DVI/D-Sub and an optical audio output to allow you to enjoy your movies at their very best.

• Smart Charger

With today’s devices requiring more power to charge, Foxconn has developed Smart Charger, allowing you to connect and charge your iPad, iPod, iPhone or HTC device from, any USB port.

• Fox One , Fox DMI, Fox Logo & Fox Live Update

The A75A and A75M come equipped with a range of software to enhance and increase the user experience. Fox One monitors vital system stats such as temperature, fan speed and voltages. Easy OC allows users to quickly and easily adjust their CPU frequency, voltage and memory speeds.

To keep everything up to date, including local and online BIOS updates within Windows, is Fox Update, which will also keep drivers and utilities updated. Fox DMI will display all of the system DMI information to aid in system identification and troubleshooting should problems occur. And finally, for some fun, Fox Logo is a Windows software tool that allows the user to change the system startup logo to whatever they like and even randomise the start up image.
