Leverage Market Demand Spurred by ‘Compelling Features-Attractive Pricing’ Combo.
Mumbai, India – December 27, 2013 – GIGABYTE’s AMD 900 Series Motherboards have made a huge impact among the Indian Do-It-Yourself (DIY) PC consumers who swear by AMD chipset-based motherboards, according to IT resellers across the country. They were unanimous in their opinion that sales of motherboards in this series swelled, mainly because of their compelling features coupled with an attractive pricing, which the competing brands have not been able to offer.
The growing popularity of the GIGABYTE’s AMD 900 Series Motherboards can be majorly attributed to two in-demand models in the series – GA-990XA-UD3 and GA-970A-DS3P, felt Sumit Lundia, Director at Starcomp Infotech Pvt. Ltd, a Kolkata-based GIGABYTE Premier Partner. (More on these motherboard models later in the Press Release)

“Both GA-990XA-UD3, the entry-level model among AMD 990X chipset motherboards; and GA-970A-DS3P, the entry-level model among AMD 970 chipset-based motherboards, have amazing price points compared to similar products from other brands with reference to features and utilities. This makes it very easy for channel partners to sell these two models, especially for a Kolkata reseller like me since GIGABYTE enjoys over 80% AMD chipset motherboards’ market share in the city,” Lundia contended.
Elaborating on the features of the GIGABYTE’s AMD 900 Series Motherboards, Arun Siddharth of Desh International Systems, a New Delhi-based GIGABYTE Premier Partner, said, “Just to give an example, GA-970A-DS3P comes with an in-built USB3; and Dual Channel DDR3 x 4 DIMM at an excellent price. Its popularity has in turn, helped increase the market demand for the relevant AMD processors. GIGABYTE has suppported its partners by ensuring steady availability of these motherboards.”

In addition to their compelling features and pricing, channel partners feel GIGABYTE’s recent efforts to enhance post-sales service set-up have also played a significant role in the growing demand for company’s motherboards, felt the partners.
Opined Kishan Daga of Kolkata-based Marc Infotech, another Kolkata-based GIGABYTE Premier Partner, “After the full-fledged GIGABYTE Exclusive Service Center in Kolkata was opened in mid-2012, local support and services of the company have become pretty strong, resulting in an increased market share for GIGABYTE motherboards in general.”

Seconding Daga’s views, Vitrag Bhandari of Ahmedabad-based GIGABYTE partner, Dolphin Computers, said, “Thanks to the GIGABYTE Exclusive Service Center in Ahmedabad, which was launched early last year, RMA (return merchandise authorization) issues for GIGABYTE motherboards are being resolved promptly across Gujarat. The company has gained market trust, and that is reflecting in the market demand and sales of its motherboards.”
GA-990XA-UD3: Ensuring More Stable, Ample and Efficient Power Delivery
Based on the AMD 990X chipset, GA-990XA-UD3 comes with the AM3+ socket. In addition to the multi-GPU support, the chipset supports up to 32GB of DDR3 memory, while the SB950 Southbridge supports six SATA 6 Gb/s ports.
