GIGABYTE has shown some Apple-loving today, with the announcement of its On/Off Charge technology.
As an innovation that relies on the company's 3x USB Power Boost initiative - described as delivering compatibility and stability for USB devices, by supplying sufficient power through a single USB port - On/Off Charge technology, will enable the ability for Apple iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch devices to draw increased current from the USB ports on a supported GIGABYTE mainboard.
The benefit for users, is that device charge times could be reduced by up to 40%, or so claims GIGABYTE, as regardless of the system power state, On/Off Charge technology enables a more efficient and time-sensitive platform.
GIGABYTE's implementation is as simple as its On/Off Charge driver software, followed by an alternative physical front panel connector that will be available with selected upcoming mainboard offerings.
On/Off Charge technology can be found on forty of the company's mainboard models, ranging from Intel P55/X58, to AMD 800 powered solutions and a demonstration of the technology in demonstration, is expected to take place in Taipei, tomorrow.
