To cope with this increased demand on the system, Maximus XII Formula takes advantage of its intelligent VRM design & uses quality components to ensure the best gaming & daily productive computing experience. A brief history We became the first manufacturer to implement phase-doublers when we shipped our A8N32-SLI Deluxe motherboard, back in 2005. The boards VRM was lauded for elegantly overcoming the power handling capabilities of components that were available at the time & also reducing voltage ripple. Those benefits led to phase-doublers becoming universally accepted in the industry, & they are still used for similar purposes today. A shift in CPU demands While doublers help extend the number of effective phases, they do so at the cost of a processing delay. However, today’s CPUs now pack more cores than their predecessors, & the latest instruction sets allow them to crunch computationally dense workloads at an incredible pace. In addition, they consume less power at idle & can transition between load states much more quickly. These improvements necessitate a re-evaluation of power-design priorities because phase-doublers add a propagation delay that hampers transient response
