As we are getting nearer to the launch date of AMD's Llano processors, more and more FM1 motherboards have started to make their appearance, and the latest such model to be spotted is the Gigabyte built A75-UD4H.
Just as its name implies, the board is designed around AMD's A75 Fusion controller hub (FCB), which is also known as the Hudson D3.
This is the most advanced of the upcoming Llano chipsets that the Sunnyvale-based company plans to introduce and it features support for six SATA 6Gbps ports, four USB 3.0 ports and is also compatible with AMD's Hybrid CrossFireX technology.
Gigabyte's implementation of the chipset pairs it together with two PCI Express x16 slots (the second one is x8 electronically), three PCI-E x1 slots and with two legacy PCI slots.
The motherboard also features five SATA 6Gbps ports as well as a front USB 3.0 header for installing two such high-speed interfaces on the chassis' front panel.
The sixth SATA connector that is available from the A75 FCH has been routed to the back of the board as an eSATA port where it is also accompanied by a wide series of USB 2.0 ports, two USB 3.0 ports and by HDMI, DVI and DisplayPort video outputs.
Gigabyte's A75-UD4H also features a 7.1-channel high-definition audio codec that is Dolby Home Theater certified and has a signal to noise ratio of 108dBA.
Judging by its features list and by the name of the board, the A75-UD4H doesn't seem to be Gigabyte's most advanced FM1 solution, so more such Gigabyte motherboards are expected to come once Llano becomes official.
No details regarding pricing and availability were made public at this time, but the A75-UD4H will most probably make its appearance in the coming weeks. (via Donanim Haber)
