Gigabyte Technology today announced that it is going to showcase a lot of new [and old, of course] mainboards at the upcoming CeBIT computer trade-show in Hannover, Germany in March this year. The family of products to be demonstrated is really broad; it includes Intel’s 845E/G/GL and 845PE/GE/GV family of mainboards in addition to solutions based on E7205 and even the forthcoming i875P and i865-series chipsets. Also Gigabyte will expose SiS655, 648, 645DX, 651 and 650/GS/GL powered products as well as VIA KT400A, KM266, KM400, K8T400M, K8M400, AMD 761 and AMD 8151-based mainboards for AMD Socket A and Socket 754 processors.

From this official news release we can learn a number of interesting facts:

• Gigabyte already has its i876P and i865 series based mainboards ready to go or will have them by March. Minor changes may be eventually made to the design, but in general everything should be more or less final.
• VIA KT400A is also ready to be launched and now is just waiting its turn.
• VIA K8T400M and K8M400 devices can be send to stores even now and everything about the x86-64 platform depends only on AMD. It seems that our assumption that VIA would not launch the K8T400 appeared to be correct, as Gigabyte has no such mainboard in its product line.

CeBIT Hannover 2003 will take place on 12-19 March in Germany. In addition to mainboards, Gigabyte is going to showcase its graphics cards, desktop platform solutions, and maybe even servers, broadband routers, Gigabit switches, wireless LAN and NAS (Network Attached Storage) appliances. Gigabyte’s exposition is located in Hall 22, booth number B30.
