Gigabyte goes green - Dynamic PWM for everyone

Gigabyte has announced that all of it's new motherboards for 2008 will feature the dynamic PWM, feature that was reported a while ago to be in the GA-X48T-DQ6 motherboard.
This will, according to Gigabyte, allow for energy savings of 20%. It seems a bit on the high side but should only be relative to the power wasted by the motherboard's PWM circuitry.

Adoption of this technology in all of the motherboards is a very impressive move, as it will allow for cooler running components, further increasing the reliability of their line of motherboards. What's left to see is if the technology works well enough to the point of having no drawbacks compared to current solutions.
The full press report is here.
