Con il comunicato stampa di seguito allegato, Foxconn ha annunciato la nuova linea di motherboard in formato microATX A88GM, che è basata sul chipset 880G di AMD. Al momento la serie A88GM comprende due varianti, la A88GM Deluxe, che recita il ruolo di flag-ship e abbina il chipset northbridge 880G al southbridge SB850, e la A88GMX, che invece utilizza il southbridge SB710, oltre al northbridge 880G.

In accordo al produttore, le nuove schede madri, che supportano i processori six-core Phenom II X6 su socket AM3 e fino a 16GB di memoria centrale RAM di tipo DDR3 a 1333Mhz, o 1600MHz in overclock, sono realizzate interamente con condensatori a stato solido "made in Japan by Fujitsu", in maniera tale da assicurare all'utente una affidabilità e una sicurezza che durino nel tempo.

Entrambe le motherboard sono dotate di un IGP (Integrated Graphics Processor) di classe ATI Radeon HD 4250, che supporta DirecX 10.1, AMD UVD 2.0 e Unified Video, e rendono disponibili uscite video di tipo DVI e HDMI.

La A88GM Deluxe include uno stadio di alimentazione a 4 + 1 fasi ed è compatibile con SATA III

Foxconn, the leading manufacturer of motherboards today proudly unveils her A88GM series motherboards. The new flagship series is based on the latest AMD 880G+SB850 chipset, supporting the powerful and energy efficient Phenom II X6 CPU, AM3 and DDR3 platform.

Foxconn’s A88GM series motherboards are equipped with 100% solid capacitors developed by the leading Japanese manufacturers---Fujitsu. With an average lifespan of 60,000 hours, these solid capacitors provide the stability, reliability and longevity essential to meet the power needs of high-end processors and other components running today's most demanding applications and games. Besides, compared with those swelling and leaking capacitors that may damage the motherboard completely, 100% solid capacitors, as there is no liquid component, they don't leak or explode. In addition, their ability to tolerate extreme conditions and their overall robustness make them much more suited to extreme operating environments.

In order to fulfill consumer demands for convenience and full-featured multimedia equipment expansion, the A88GM motherboard is equipped with a wide range of connectivity options including D-sub, also a digital video interface (DVI) for digital video display and a high definition multimedia interface (HDMI) for digital video and audio output to help consumers simplify wiring connections. Thanks to these designs, consumers can enjoy high definition video and audio at the same time to fully meet the HD multimedia demand of the next generation.

Another feature found on Foxconn A88GM motherboards is the 4+1 Power Phases, this incorporating design ensures a steadier power delivery and immediate current support for the CPU during heavy work loads or over-clocking. Additionally, 1 Phase for Northbridge and 1 Phase for Memory allow users to process more tasks simultaneously with greater performance and reduced power consumption. Also, the thermal design allows users to enjoy longer component lifetime through lower temperatures and absolute silence combined with the ultimate thermal performance on chipsets, CPU power components and the PCB.
