Gigabyte United, a manufacturer of motherboards and graphics cards, has launched a full range of Dynamic Energy Saver motherboards. The new range including X48, X38 and P35-based motherboards is said to deliver power savings of up to 70 per cent and up to 20 per cent improved power efficiency.

Johnson Lin, CEO, Gigabyte United, said, "With one little click, users are able to take advantage of up to 70 per cent CPU power savings without sacrificing computing performance. Imagine the potential for power savings on a global scale if every motherboard in the world was able to provide similar power savings."

According to the release, the multi-gear power phase design of Dynamic Energy Saver allows for the efficient switching of power phases depending on CPU work loading. In Meter Mode, Dynamic Energy Saver shows how much power users have saved in a set period of time. In Total Mode, users are able to see how much total power savings they have accumulated since activating Dynamic Energy Saver. Even if the Dynamic Energy Saver functionality is turned off, the total amount of power saved will be recorded until re-activated, when total power savings will resume recording power savings.

Gigabyte Dynamic Energy Saver motherboards paired with Intel 45nm CPUs claim to deliver a platform for multitasking, multimedia and high performance gaming and computing.
