“We are very proud that ASUS 8 Series motherboards are the first and only ones to pass such rigorous tests for USB 3.0 compatibility,”said JoeHsieh, ASUS Corporate Vice President and General Manager of Motherboard and Desktop System Business Unit. “USB 3.0 certification means ASUS motherboards based on the Intel 8 Series chipsets offer customers the best performance, compatibility and reliability for next-generation SuperSpeed devices.”
For a motherboard to receive USB 3.0 certification, it must pass more than 190 exacting tests set by the USB Implementers Forum, including signal-quality checks, stress tests and sustained transmission speed.The full SuperSpeed data-transfer rate is up to 5Gbit/s – 10 times faster than USB 2.0.
SuperSpeed-approved motherboards must also demonstrate wide compatibility with existing USB devices by working perfectly with 39different products and device types, including printers, USB drives,video cameras, mice and headsets.
The ASUS TUFGryphon Z87, H87-Plus and B85-Plus continue the ASUS tradition of innovationin all areas.
