The latter allows you to reduce the cost of the motherboard by skipping SATA 3 (6Gb/s) and USB 3.0. However, its features will be present via additional chips.

The A55 Pro 3 will offer two ports PCI-Express 2.0 in 16x compatible Quad CrossFireX and CrossFireX. Note that in these cases the first port PCI-Express will work in 16x while the second will work in 4x, which may limit the performance of high-end graphics cards. There will also be a port PCI-Express 2.0 in 1x and three PCI ports.

Regarding the audio part, this will be entrusted to the Realtek ALC892 HD 7.1 chip. The network part will rely on a Realtek RTL8111E chip compatible with Gigabit Lan.

For storage, the A55 Pro 3 will offer two ports SATA 3 (6Gb/s) via an additional chip, the ASM 1061 from ASMEDIA. Five ports SATA 2 (3Gb/s) will also be present, as well as a connector external eSATA 2.

Two USB 3.0 ports will also be present thanks to a Eltron EJ168A chip, as well as four external USB 2.0 ports and three internal USB 2.0 ports via headers.

Finally, regarding video outputs, the A55 Pro 3 will offer an HDMI 1.4a output and a D-Sub

We find a power stage composed of 4+1 phases, as well as four DDR3 memory slots in Dual Channel, which will be able to support up to 32 GB at a frequency of 2,400 MHz.

On the other hand, no CrossFireX, the A55iCafe is content with a single A55iCafe_de_faceport PCI-Express 2.0 in 16x, with two ports PCI-Express 2.0 in 1x and two PCI ports. The storage part will only support SATA 2 via six ports. Six external USB 2.0 ports will be present, USB 3.0 will be absent.

The audio part will go from 7.1 HD to a Realtek ALC 662 HD chip offering 5.1. The network part will remain unchanged with a Realtek RTL8111E chip compatible with Gigabit Lan.

Finally, regarding video outputs, the HDMI will be replaced by a DVI-Dconnector, the D-Sub connector will still be present. Finally the last motherboard offered by
