Company Gigabyte has presented a new parent payment on the basis of the newest chipset Intel X48 - X48T DQ6. The payment is very similar on X38 DQ6, apparently, that they differ nothing except the size of a radiator on northern bridge (north bridge).
It is possible to consider as an essential innovation of this parent payment system DES. Similar to system EPU, presented ASUS, technology DES also supervises power supplies. With technology DES the parent payment is capable to save more energy in an idle time mode.
The parent payment supports a multiplier 0.5x the processor. So at processor Q9550 use it is possible to expose a multiplier on 6x, 6.5x, 7x, 7.5x, 8x, 8.5x.
