GIGABYTE quietly releases 2nd Apollo Lake motherboard



Apollo Lake was hardly a hit in the motherboard department. Despite substantial increase in single thread performance over Braswell, the world's largest motherboard maker - ASUS - only released one (J3455M-E). BIOSTAR and ECS skip it altogether. The GA-J3355N-D2P is GIGABYTE's second - and most likely final - Apollo Lake motherboard. Gemini Lake can't come soon enough.

✓ Celeron J3355 (2 cores @ 2.5 GHz)
