and stability. In addition, B75 chipset provides 4 USB 3.0 ports that retrieves data 10 times
faster. Moreover, Intel ®
B75 Express Chipset also supports iGPU function, letting users enjoy
the latest Intel integrated graphic performance.
PCI Express ® 3.0
PCI Express ® 3.0 (PCIe 3.0) is the latest PCI Express bus standard with improved encoding
schemes that provide twice the performance of the current PCIe 2.0. The total bandwidth
for a x16 link reaches a maximum of 32Gb/s, double the 16 Gb/s of PCIe 2.0 (in x16 mode).
As such, PCIe 3.0 provides userss an unprecendented data speeds, combined with the
convenience and seamless transition offerred by complete backward compatibility with PCIe
1.0 and PCIe 2.0 devices. PCIe 3.0 will become a must-have feature for users who wish to
improve and optimize graphic performance, as well as have the latest technology available to
them.
* PCI 3.0 speed is supported by Intel ® 3rd generation processors.
