Gigabyte Technology continues to develop products and innovations for the graphics card market and is focusing on enhancing its graphics cards to help them become professional products.Gigabyte remains optimistic about the graphics card industry and is gradually moving into the enterprise sector. Digitimes recently interviewed Eddie Lin, associate vice president of Gigabyte's Graphics Card Business Unit about the efforts Gigabyte has put into the graphics card market as well as the company's strategy for the future.Q: What products or technologies is Gigabyte focusing on for the VGA sector at Computex 2014?A: Graphics cards are definitely the main focus of the VGA department and we are also showcasing our new improved air and liquid cooling modules to show our technological leadership in the market.For the liquid cooling product line, we are showcasing our new WaterForce cooling module, designed for the top-end segment.As for air cooling, we have improved the WindForce cooling module with an even higher heat dissipation rate.We will also display our latest keyboards and mice at our booth including those under the Aorus brand.Q: How is the graphics card market currently? How is Gigabyte performing in the market?A: Graphics cards have already advanced to become more like boutique and professional products. At the very beginning, consumers purchased graphics cards to output images from their computers, but graphics cards now are used mainly for game play.As demand for high-resolution games continues to rise, graphics card performance also needs to dramatically improve to handle the surging demand. Graphics cards need to handle about four times the workload to advance from Full HD to Ultra HD resolutions.Therefore, in the short term, the graphics card industry will remain how it is now and consumers will continue to purchase graphics cards to play games.Gigabyte's role in the industry is to grow even more professional over our technology and to develop innovations that satisfy consumer demand. Gigabyte's graphics cards have grown more professional and elegant and are turning more toward higher-end markets.We have also improved our box art to enhance the professional impression of our graphics card products and have treated brand nurturing as a priority for future growth.Q: Can you give us more detail on the company's WaterForce cooling system? Compared to other liquid cooling systems available on the market, what are the advantages that the system has?A: We have seen our competitors release high-end graphics cards equipped with liquid cooling modules, but Gigabyte does not believe that is how liquid cooling should be adopted.When gamers equip 2-3 high-end graphics cards into their desktops to run SLI, the lack of internal space can greatly affect the heat dissipation of their machines. Gigabyte's WaterForce cooling system is developed to resolve such an issue and is only used in multi-graphics card scenarios.Our WaterForce system does not require chassis modifications, unlike most liquid cooling systems available in the market, which need a specially designed chassis. Users only need an empty 5.25-inch drive bay in their chassis to install the WaterForce.The WaterForce also features a control panel, with which users can manually change cooling fan and water pump speeds for each graphics card. Users can also click a button to equalize all the graphics cards' temperatures.WaterForce will be selling with three Nvidia high-end graphics cards, making its end price surpass US$3,000. Through the bundling, users will be able to install the system into their desktops right away, and will not need to be concern about their warranty.As for whether we will use the system for AMD graphics cards, it will depend on how AMD graphics cards performance, as we only like to adopt the system with the highest performing graphics cards on the market.Q: What kind of solution is the WindForce cooling system? What can consumers expect from the system?A: Liquid cooling has always been considered to have better performance than air cooling in terms of heat dissipation; however, our latest WindForce 600W cooling module is already able to achieve a performance almost the same as a liquid cooling module.The cooling module is able to dissipate heat generated from 600W of power consumption and has already been adopted onto our Nvidia Titan Black-based graphics cards.With the cooling module's 600W heat dissipation rate, the graphics cards are able to operate at a constant low temperature even during heavy loads to allow stable output.The module features many of Gigabyte's technologies such as our differing height fin design for the heat sink, Triangle Cool as well as a special fan designed to increase air flow. We have already acquired the patent for our Triangle Cool technology and are in the middle of acquiring others.Q: How about PC peripheral products? What new features has Gigabyte integrated in them?A: Gigabyte has been in the PC peripheral business for 6-7 years and we have designed many innovations for related products.For Aorus, we are showcasing the new Aorus Thunder K7 keyboard and M7 mouse. The keyboard features a detachable number pad, which can be attached on either the left or right side of the keyboard.The M7 is equipped with several thumb buttons, which are specially designed so users will not miss-click other buttons.We will also showcase latest Gigabyte branded accessories at the show.Eddie Lin, Associate VP of Gigabyte VGA businessPhoto: Joe Tsai, Digitimes, June 2014

The concept of intelligent transportation does not emerge suddenly. It did not go well not only because it lacked effective data collection sensors and equipment but also because it relied deeply on image recognition technology, which is prone to be affected by the environment. But now, it is very likely to break the deadlock by making good use of eTag, which serves over 5.8 million users.YDT, founded in 1989 as a subsidiary of Far Eastern Group to develop security and surveillance solutions primarily, has gained experience and know-how by cooperating with Far Eastern Electronic Toll Collection Co, Ltd. in implementing ETC, developing OBU, and RFID solutions. YDT has been acquiring more and more knowledge and competence in the ITS market gradually and rolling out more and more derivative applications.Eric Wu, Director of YDT's Operation & Projects Department, indicated that one of the important elements of developing ITS is to install a detection device in the car for gathering information, and this will facilitate subsequent applications. Therefore, an OBU is not only a highway toll collection device, but also an independent account made for every car that can be used as an e-wallet for parking, refueling and other commercial purposes, as well as applications like emergency assistance and road planning. Its potential can be maximized in every way.Due to the high cost of OBUs, it is not easy to expand their penetration; ETC in other countries has faced similar obstacles. Therefore, YDT assisted Far Eastern Electronic Toll Collection Co, Ltd. in developing their own RFID-based ETC system and constructed 319 gantries. With this experience, YDT also has built up its foundation for developing specialized RFID tags as a unique type of "OBU" for high-speed tolling environment. And because of the low cost of producing eTag, Far Eastern Electronic Toll Collection Co, Ltd. decided to absorb the cost itself and offered free installation for vehicles installing it for the first time. Up to January 2014, the ETC usage rate reached to 92%, with six million vehicles having installed it.The Pioneer in RFID-Based Multi-Lane Free Flow ETCEric Wu pointed out that having dealt with numerous users, gained much experience in developing anti-interference RFID and acquired the capability of gathering information accurately, YDT has been inspired and started to develop ITS applications. It was thought to be difficult to implement these applications, but they have now been put into practice gradually. For the government sector, YDT applied their solutions to assist Taoyuan County in building up a system for estimating average travel time on central expressways. Besides, YDT also has expanded into the commercial market, starting from smart parking solutions for Farglory Smart Mansion and then Taichung Veterans General Hospital, etc., as well as other massive projects, such as the one at TSMC's 2,000-space parking lot that allows the gate to open faster, shows drivers the routes to the parking spaces, and provides parking space information with their integrated RFID and ANPR technology. YDT has proven its abilities on the ITS market and smart parking solutions with those outstanding works.In the near future, once Taiwan's Ministry of Transportation and Communications and Financial Supervisory Commission approve the use of eTag as a cash equivalent, eTag will then become a convenient alternative payment method. For example, gas station could charge drivers via their eTag accounts based on the amount of gas that has been fueled and save their waiting time on making payments. In addition, drivers could enter parking lots faster without rolling down the window to get the ticket/token as well as putting in paid tickets/token on their way out. This represents a whole new parking solution in a better, greener, cost effective operation scheme.Eric Wu emphasized that the RFID-Based Multi-Lane Free Flow ETC in Taiwan is definitely the first in the world, especially when fee-charging demands accuracy and precision that is not easy to achieve. In order to solve the RF radio wave overflow problem, YDT has been well-experienced in every perspective. No matter in measuring, planning, designing the antenna angles and power adjustment, YDT has made it all workable in both the domestic and overseas markets.Lynette Wu, Marketing Manager of YDT, indicated that they have been known and gotten opportunities in Southeast Asia, Central and South America, Eastern Europe and other markets by cooperating with local partners, exhibitions, paper releases and speeches. Also, they assist in setting up a highway toll system in one of South Asia countries and will be launched soon.Moreover, YDT is planning to participate and exhibit in 21st ITS World Congress - Detroit 2014 by presenting the RFID-based ETC solution and their internally-developed Lane System Integration Platform, Mediation Platform and the EMD (Electronic Metal Detector) device. As for Taiwan, they will present a concise and user-friendly Plug & Play RFID parking management system in December 2014 at Taipei International Building, Construction and Decoration Exhibition. YDT is aiming to win domestic and overseas user's favor with their products and know-how with description of practical cases.YDY Technology creates a variety of ITS total solutions based on superior RFID technologyPhoto: Company
