Intel^? Celeron? J1800 Processor

The Intel^? Celeron? J1800 Dual-Core processor is the latest system on chip (SoC) from Intel, combining CPU, graphics and memory controller in one package. Based on the 22nm manufacturing process, the Intel^? Celeron? J1800 uses the smallest package of any desktop processor within a low thermal envelope of on 10 watts. The Intel^? Celeron? J1800 boasts excellent performance including DX11 gaming on Intel^? HD Graphics, plus a dedicated H.264 encoder for smooth HD video playback.

 

Bringing UDIMM support to Bay Trail

The GIGABYTE motherboard is specifically designed with two UDIMM slots, making it compatible with widely available desktop DDR3 memory. Unlike SO-DIMM memory, UDIMM has the advantage of bringing to users a wider and more easily accessible range of RAM.

 

High Quality Audio Capacitors

GIGABYTE Ultra Durable? motherboards use high quality Nippon Chemicon ARE series audio capacitors. These professional audio capacitors deliver the highest quality sound resolution and sound expansion to create the most realistic sound effects for user experience.

 

Dedicated Audio Hardware Zone

+ Separation on the PCB layer protects the board's sensitive analog audio components.
+ Separate analog and digital ground to protect against Electromagnetic Interference (EMI).

 

GIGABYTE Ultra Durable?

GIGABYTE Ultra Durable? debuts on GIGABYTE motherboards, with a range of features and component choices that provide record-breaking performance, cool and efficient operation and extended motherboard lifespan.

 

Ultra Performance

GIGABYTE uses All Solid Caps (Capacitors) and Low RDS(on) MOSFETs which are rated to work at higher temperatures to provide a longer lifespan.

 

Humidity Protection

Humidity can play havoc on a motherboard's circuitry.GIGABYTE's new Glass Fabric PCB design helps protect against electrical shorts due to humidity by reducing the gaps in spacing between PCB filaments.

 

Power Failure Protection

GIGABYTE also uses Anti-Surge ICs to protect the motherboard against power surges.

 

Electrostatic Protection

GIGABYTE motherboards feature High Resistance ICs which help protect the motherboard against electrostatic discharge.

 

High ESD Protection for USB and LAN (USB 3.0 only)

GIGABYTE Bay Trail-D Series motherboards raise the bar in terms of protecting your system, providing advanced electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection for both your Ethernet LAN and USB ports, both common sources of ESD-related failures. Each LAN and USB port can withstand high electrostatic discharges, protecting your system from common electrical surges and even direct lighting strikes.

 

HDMI?-The Next Generation Multimedia Interface

HDMI? is a High-Definition Multimedia Interface which provides up to 5Gb/s video transmitting bandwidth and 8-channel high quality audio all through a single cable. Able to transmit superior, uncompressed digital video and audio, HDMI? ensures the crispest rendering of digital content up to 1080p without the quality losses associated with analog interfaces and their digital-to-analog conversion. In addition, HDMI? is compatible with HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), allowing the playback of Blu-ray/HD DVD and other protected media content.

 

On/Off Charge Technology

GIGABYTE On/Off Charge technology allows you to charge your iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch regardless of whether your PC is on, in standby mode or even off. A derivative of GIGABYTE's highly acclaimed 3x USB Power feature, On/Off Charge enables devices to draw more current from GIGABYTE motherboard USB ports than standard USB ports allow, so that charging from your PC can be as fast as with a charger...more
*Due to certain mobile phone limitations, users may need to connect the mobile phone to their PC before the PC enters S4/S5 mode to enable a quick charge from non On/Off Charge USB ports. Charging results may vary by model.
*Whether to support 3X USB power design, it may vary by models. 

 

LAN Optimizer - Intelligent optimization network management tool

GIGABYTE LAN Optimizer is designed to allow the user to manage different types of network traffic so that data streams such as HD media, web browsing or online gaming can be prioritized, taking precedence over large data downloads that tend to strangle overall network bandwidth.

 

GIGABYTE @BIOS

The new and updated GIGABYTE @BIOS app allows you to update your system's BIOS from within Windows using a simple and slick graphical user interface by automatically downloading the latest version from the GIGABYTE servers.
