Sir Stagea, noticeable ba ang difference ng power consumption ng AMD at Intel based on the procie that were mentioned?
The difference isn't much, really. We're splitting hairs at this point.
and if I wanna go AMD, what's the next bang for the buck mobo? parang hindi ko type yung Asrock A55M HVS kasi walang optical at USB3 port.
A75M-ITX includes both an optical and 4 USB 3.0 ports. Of course, you can also find motherboards from other brands.
Sir what do you mean about native USB3?
Native, meaning it's not a mere add-on. Add-on USB 3.0 controllers like those used in boards utilizing older chipsets can be problematic when running devices that are sensitive to latency. They generally do not offer the same performance as native implementations as well, as most rely on a PCI-E 1x link.
Native USB 3.0 Support:
AMD - A68M, A70M, A75, A85X
Intel - B75, Q75, Q77, H77, Z75, Z77, QS77, QM77, UM77, HM77, HM76, HM75, HM70
If a motherboard offers USB 3.0 and utilizes an older chipset, chances are it's using an add-on USB 3.0 controller.
