50 degree Burn-in Test
A burning test with increased temperature up to 50 degree is applied to eliminate computer functional impairments caused by severe external environment
AMD APU Platform
The new generation of AMD Accelerated Processing Unit (APUs) combiningthe central processing unit (CPU) with the graphics processing unit(GPU) in a single-chip design, features stutter-free HD video playback,DirectX® 11-capable graphics.
AMD Dual Graphics
AMD Dual graphics technology enables an impressive visual uplift and added compute capacity. The integrated graphics core can be combined with the external graphics card to deliver higher overall performance.
Dual Gigabit LAN
The dual Gigabit LAN design allows a computer managing network traffic between two separate networks and ensures rapid data transfer from WAN to LAN without any latency.
ATI CrossFire X
The technology not only combines multi-GPU and motherboard power that soars into a new dimension of graphics capability, but also delivers the highest image quality and screen resolutions, even with the most demanding 3D titles.
PCI EXPRESS 2.0
The exceptionally increased interconnect bit rate from 2.5GT/s up to 5.0GT/s would effectively eliminates the bottle neck of the system performance and brings the most terrific computing experience from the present to the future.
eSATA 6Gb/s
eSATA III with 6Gb/s data transfer rate can promise substantial performance gain to a new hard drive enclosure. The data transfer rate is double than previous SATA II(3Gb/s) and also supports external HDD hot plug and keyed connector end for fool-proof.
SB 3.0
The latest generation Super Speed USB 3.0 Card is able to transfer data 10 times faster than USB 2.0. An innovative power management system provide better energy saving and carry more power to recharge more USB rechargeable devices. USB 3.0 Card is compatible with USB 2.0 to add more convenience and excellent performance.
