Review Pages
The Foxconn A75A motherboard has been designed to bring vitality to the mainstream PC market. The A75A supports AMD's FM1 socket CPUs and offers enhanced connectivity and entertainment capability.
Starting from the CPU, the A75A supports AMD's Llano APU processors for desktops - the A4/A6/A8 series of APUs. These are are equipped with AMD's new Turbo CORE technology 2.0, which increases APU performance by dynamically adjusting processor speeds for the best application performance within thermal and power limits.
The motherboard is based on the AMD Hudson D3 chipset with a DirectX 11 graphics engine and AMD UVD 3.0 technology. UVD supports Blu-ray content, whilst offloading power and processor-intensive video decoding from the CPU to the graphics core. In addition, Dual Graphics Technology can simultaneously utilize the power of the APU graphics engine and the discrete GPU graphics processor to deliver increased performance.
The Foxconn A75M motherboard also ships with HDMI 1.4, which can support 3D video playback, as well as with a full range of video output options, such as HDMI/DVI/D-Sub and other optical audio output.
Smart charger is another creation provided by Foxconn engineers. The most attractive feature of it is its quick charging. With the Fox iPad Charger, you can charge not only for iPad, but also iPod or Phone freely just by connecting it to the USB port.
