Technology Highlights
Intel H55 Chipset
The Intel H55 Chipset includes the FDI (Flexible Display Interface) which enables direct connection between the CPU and the graphics core. This allows the display information to be sent back to the H55 chipset for output. The graphics core inside the Clarkdale processor is known as GMA HD. Its difference from the G45 GMA X4500HD is in the number of Unified shaders which was increased from 10 to 12.
Intel LGA 1156 Core™ i7/Core™ i5 Processor Support
Lynnfield is the first family of Intel 45nm CPU processors that uses the Intel Nehalem micro architecture in LGA1156 package. It is supported by Intel® DMI Interconnect and integrated with the Dual-channel memory controller with 4 DIMM slots DDR3 memory. It supports the Intel Turbo boost technology and smart cache.
5 Phase Power Phase Design
5-phase VRM design with high quality power components such as low RDS (on) Mosfet for lower temperature has the advantage to raise the overclocking ability.
X.D.C (eXtreme Durable Capacitors)
Biostar adopts low ESR and high ripple conductive solid state caps that provide sufficient, stable power supply to the CPU. The life span can also be more than 6.25 x of ordinary liquid caps.
