AMD APUs offer in a processor and a graphics card in a single chip, perfect for mini-ITX motherboards.
The new motherboard MSI A88XI AC has everything you need to host a Kaveri APU, capable of handling 4K resolutions or three monitors. It supports two DDR3 RAM modules with a maximum of 32 GB at 2400 MHz, four 6 Gbps SATA ports with RAID and HDMI 1.4a support, DVI and VGA, USB 3.0 and Ethernet 1 Gbps connectivity. As the tagline "AC" indicates, it has support for high-speed Wi-Fi AC with Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity. The sound card has 8 channels with a dedicated DAC chip.
For those seeking added graphics power, the MSI A88XI AC includes a PCI-Express 3.0 x16 port, support for internal Crossfire between APU and Radeon graphics and support for AMD R7 series. It also includes a mini-PCIe port to add some additional expansion capabilities.
We also have the typical MSI technologies, such as military-grade components or various applications to monitor and over clock. So far, nothing has been said about its price.
