April 2011: Gigabyte S1080 is a tablet computer powered by an Intel Atom processor. A dual booting version exists that can run Android or Windows 7.

The Following List Belong to GSmart Series of smartphones:


 * March 2014 - GSmart Rey R3
 * GSmart G1305
 * GSmart G1310
 * GSmart G1315
 * GSmart G1317D
 * GSmart G1342
 * GSmart G1345
 * GSmart G1355
 * GSmart G1362
 * GSmart GS202

Available 1st segment abbreviations:


 * If "A" appears after the chipset code, it has the 333 onboard acceleration (USB 3.0, USB Power X3, SATA 3.0 6 Gbit/s)
 * If "M" appears after the chipset code, it is a mATX board
 * If "N" appears after the chipset code, it is a Mini-ITX board
 * If "P" appears after the chipset code, it supports integrated graphics with video output
 * If "X" appears after the chipset code, it uses advanced digital power (Z77 chipset and later) or extra features such as SLI (prior to Z77)
 * If "M" appears in front of the chipset number it means it is for an AMD processor, but has a non-AMD chipset
 * If "MA" appears before the chipset number it is for an AMD processor and has an AMD chipset (e.g. GA-880GMA-USB3)
 * If "E" appears before the chipset number it has Dynamic Energy Saver as energy saving method (e.g. GA-EG45M-UD2H)

Available 2nd segment abbreviations:


 * T - Only DDR3 SDRAM support (e.g. GA-MA770T-US3)
 * C - Both DDR2 and DDR3 SDRAM support
 * F - Includes FireWire port and header (e.g., GA-EG41MF-US2H)
 * No T or C abbreviations mean that the motherboard only has DDR2 SDRAM support

Available 3rd segment abbreviations:


 * If E - appears as the first letter in the 3rd segment (e.g. GA-G31M-ES2L), it means it has Easy Energy Saver feature
 * D (Ultra Durable 2) - Indicates that the motherboard uses only solid state capacitors (e.g. GA-X48-DQ6)
 * U/UD (Ultra Durable 3) - Introduces 2 ounces of copper for both the Power and Ground layers
 * USB3 - Indicates that the motherboard featured Ultra Durable 3 and USB 3.0 support
 * S2 (Smart, Safe) - Various features such as Q-Flash BIOS
 * S3 (Smart, Speed, Safe) - Same as above, but includes overclocking features
 * S4 (Silent Pipe, Smart, Speed, Safe) - Same as S3, but uses heat pipe cooling
 * S5 (CrossFire, Silent Pipe, Smart, Speed, Safe) - Same as S4, but with CrossFire support
 * Q6 (Quad BIOS, Quad Cooling, Quad E-SATA 2.0, Quad Triple Phase, Quad-Core Optimized, Quad DDR2 Slots) - Indicates quad-core optimization
 * UP Similar to UD, but with improved power regulation
 * # (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 9) - Compares boards of same class (e.g. GA-P55-UD3)
 * R - 2 extra SATA 2.0 ports and possibly RAID support. May have FireWire port. May not have ATI CrossFire support (e.g. GA-P35-DS3R)
 * G - Solid capacitors for the CPU Volt Regulator Module
 * H - HDMI port on-board
 * V - Includes more video outputs (i.e.: GA-G41MT-D3V additional DVI output, GA-G41MT-D3 with serial and parallel output instead)
 * L - Probably "Lite", meaning fewer SATA 2.0 ports, no RAID support, no FireWire ports, no ATI CrossFire support, no heatsink cooling (e.g. GA-P35-DS3L). It could also indicate Gigabit LAN (as in GA-G31M-S2L, versus GA-G31M-S2C which has support for 10/100 Mbit/s Ethernet). {update: “L” / “C” / “E” / “G” means minor/customized spec change version}
 * P - Silent Pipe, RAID, Extra PCI Express slots, extra SATA 2.0 ports (e.g. GA-EP45-DS3P)

Available 4th segment abbreviations:


 * TH - Provides Thunderbolt interface
 * WB - Includes PCI-e x1 card with Bluetooth 4.0 and WiFi (802.11 a/b/g/n) interfaces including 2 external antennas.

Interview with Henry Kao
Interview with the Vice President of Gigabyte - Motherboards

Q: "How did the sale numbers change and what is Gigabyte’s position?"
 * A: Gigabyte became the number one vendor in the motherboard industry since last year (2013).

Q: "So you were first to bring USB 3.0 to the market. So why didn’t we see any Gigabyte USB 3.1 [products]?"
 * A: Our vendors already have the controllers but they are still waiting for the certifications for this standard.

profits are larger than operating income!
I don't understand that one, they must have one heck of an accountant. I usually add financial data and link to the annual report on a company's website, which I'll do here when I have time, if anyone interested they can go ahead and fix it now. --DelftUser (talk) 15:16, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
