The most important features offered by PRO-V P8Z68 is undoubtedly its new chipset, the Z68 has a design of a single chip fully compatible with Intel socket 1155 and the second generation Core 2 i7/i5/i3. The Z68 offers improved performance by using point to point which allows for greater bandwidth. It has 2 SATA ports 6Gb/sy 4 SATA 3Gb / s, we cannot forget to mention that the Z68 supports iGPU function to use the integrated graphics processor. Just have a look below on the featured highlight of motherboard.
Featured Highlight
- Dual Intelligent Processors 2 with DIGI+ VRM Digital Power Design
- UEFI BIOS (EZ Mode) - Flexible & Easy BIOS Interface
- LucidLogix Virtu (Universal Switchable Graphics) - Auto Switching between Integrated Graphics and NVIDIA/AMD Cards

What is new in Z68
The Z68 series keeps a sixth-generation chipset for Intel so basically find the performance of the P67, with a good arrangement for complex graphics settings, where other technologies such as SATA 6Gbps and a good supply of lines for the PCI Express integrators to integrate other important technologies not supported by the chipset such as the USB 3.0. The Z68 includes the benefits of the lower ranges, integrates a high-end chipset and supplemented with some extra features. Hybrid technologies that allow us to enjoy some ways we already are in the market but on other platforms such as laptops, or technologies that we use with other storage media such as the hybrid.
This is also seasoned with better support for bus-level overclocking is impossible in the previous chipset. Enhancements are minimal improvements do not think a user of a P67 really going to convince. Improvements if they can be interesting for some integrators and giving their teams a greater potential while minimizing the maintenance of certain settings that would be a hassle for some users.
Sandy Bride Support
With today's introduction of the Z68 Express chipset, Intel in some way before the first "real" chipset for Sandy Bridge processors. Apart from the difficulties with the first revision of the P67 chipset certainly had a lot of users and thus a small problem that some important features of a chip set of the users of the other chip set was withheld. With the Z68 Intel fills this "gap" and thus the core processors of the second generation should now be even more interesting for newcomers up a notch. The Z68 combines the performance-enhancing features of the P67 chipset, which are particularly important for overclockers, with the possible uses of the integrated graphics solution in the CPU, which for example has to offer in the area of video transcoding and some acceleration.
On the basic structure has changed from the Z68 to its "predecessors" nothing substantial, the graph below corresponds almost exactly to what is obtained by simple addition of P67 and H67. In addition to the combined features of H67 and P67 chipsets, Intel has the Z68 have given some more changes.
