Able to leap small setbacks in a single bound, USB 3.0 bounces back in a pair of Core i5 and i7 motherboards. Gigabyte is beginning to ship its P55A-UD6 and P55A-UD4P motherboards, and they have a few USB surprises on-board. They are one of the first makers to launch a USB 3.0 motherboard and have done so with an NEC controller. This is a great piece of news since the admonition by Intel that it is tabling some of its efforts with SuperSpeed USB. Besides just including USB 3.0 support, Gigabyte is also going above and beyond on the power requirements. Both USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 certified minimum power outputs from the USB port have been tripled on these boards. This increases maximum current for USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 to 1500mA and 2700mA respectively. That means that any device that has an optional power supply more than likely will be fine without it. Look for these super-powered SuperSpeed USB motherboards in November pricing is still TBA.
