Gigabyte GA-E350N-USB3 review

We were initially disappointed with AMD's new Fusion CPU, the E-350. Despite that, its low-power CPU-GPU chip, otherwise known as Zacate, does have something to offer in certain small form factor and portable computing niches. Enter, therefore, the new Gigabyte GA-E350N-USB3 motherboard.Given the performance limitations of the E-350, we reckon smaller is better when it comes to system size. In other words, what you want is a Mini-ITX motherboard. Ideally, however, you want one that makes as few compromises as possible in return for compact proportions. What you want, says Gigabyte, is the GA-E350N-USB3.For starters, you get a PCI Express 16-lane slot for full-power graphics action. Then there are four on-board ports. Not as many as a typical full ATX board, perhaps, but enough to meet the storage needs of most end users. Gigabyte has also thrown in a pair of USB ports for good measure, and provided a full set of BIOS overclocking options. AMD's E-350 chip isn't a big performer. So it makes sense to put it in a small board. The Mini-ITX Gigabyte GA-E350N-USB3 is as puny as they come, and yet gives nothing away to Asus's larger E35M1-M PRO when it comes to number crunching. That said, we wouldn't recommend it for anything but basic computing.

Gigabyte E350N-USB3 Review

In the last year or two, there has been a strong increase in demand for media PCs and components. Up until recently, a powerful media PC consisted of a desktop processor, micro-ATX motherboard, and a low-end graphics card. The problem with this setup is price, physical size, and power consumption. On the other hand, you also have the recent increase in popularity of net-top computers. The advantage of these, of course, are the exact shortcomings of traditional media PCs — they are cheap, very small, and consume less power. The first company to find the sweet spot between these two extremes was NVIDIA with the introduction of its ION platform in 2009. The idea behind ION was to pair a slower but low-power processor like the Atom with a dedicated graphics processing unit. While this all sounds great in theory, the ION and even the ION 2 platform were not really capable of playing 1080p video reliably. On the other side of fence, AMD is, timewise, not far behind Intel and NVIDIA. Just this January, AMD released its Fusion platform that combines a CPU and GPU into a single chip known as the APU (Accelerated Processing Unit). In just the last month, we have seen an influx of Fusion products intended for system builders.

Gigabyte E350N-USB3 Motherboard

Home theater systems and such have become a widespread phenomena. As technology becomes more and more affordable and even the low end systems have the juice to keep up with HD and Blu-Ray playback, there has never been a better time to buy one of such systems. At the expense of sounding like some sales commercial, I really do believe that it is in fact true. One could either spend money buying different parts of a home entertainment system like a Blu-Ray player, Tivo, etc, or for about the same price get an HTPC which has all that functionality, and still has access to your Facebook account. This is where Gigabyte’s E350N-USB3 comes in. This board already comes with its own processor, so the only things that are required are hard drive, RAM and a power supply and essentially you are good to go. Gigabyte is not alone in the market, however, Intel based boards such as the JNC98-525-LF on the proven ION2 platform are also in the race. Does the E350N stack up to it competition? Read on and find out. Packaging is as appealing as ever and follows Gigabyte’s styling concept almost to the ‘T’. The words “Ultra” and “Durable” are spread all over the back, the front and all the other sides of the box.

Gigabyte GA-E350N-USB3 Fusion motherboard

When AMD bought ATI in 2006 many smart people started to talk about the possibility of a new type of chip combining the processor with the graphics chip. Fast forward to 2011: that speculation has become reality with the advent of the APU (Accelerated Processing Unit). The motherboard we are reviewing today, the GIGABYTE E350N-USB3, uses one of the first APU's in the AMD Fusion series, the E-350 APU, codenamed Zacate. This little chip contains a dual-core processor clocked at 1.6 GHz and an HD6310 graphics core, all on one chip. This APU aims to compete with the Intel Atom/NVIDIA ION combo in cheap low-powered notebooks as well as in cheaper desktop and HTPC systems. The Gigabyte E350N-USB3 is one of the first motherboards with the E-350 chip, and while it is just a small mini-ITX-motherboard, it still has full support for USB3 and SATA 6 Gbps as well as a full-length PCI-E-slot. Fusion APU motherboards are slowly appearing at e-tail stores. For example, Newegg has the Gigabyte E350N-USB3 for $149.99, which is a very good price compared to Intel Atom/ION motherboards.

Gigabyte GA-E350N-USB3 AMD Fusion mobo

At CES2011, GIGABYTE announced their first AMD Fusion Mini-ITX motherboard, the GA-E350N-USB. This little mini-ITX motherboard comes with one of the first AMD Fusion APU's (Accelerated Processing Unit): the Dual-Core E-350 with a Radeon HD6410 graphics core. It also comes with 4 SATA 6Gbps ports and 2 USB3.0 ports, making it a very attractive little motherboard for users who value a power efficient system that still has teeth enough to show 1080p video and play the occasional lighter game. We received one of these motherboards a few days ago from AMD and we wanted to whet our readers' appetites while we're doing a proper review. The motherboard comes in a small but familiar box. GIGABYTE loves to advertise all the cool specifications and features of their products, and the fact that this isn't a high-end motherboard makes no difference. This is an Ultra Durable 3 Classic motherboard. This means that GIGABYTE has used 2 ounces of copper for both the power and ground layers of the motherboard. It also has Japanese Solid Capacitors and GIGABYTE's DualBIOS technology.
