How can you be so sure that Gigabyte isn't lying ? ?

do you think gigabyte is lying??

I defiantly felt lied to when I bought a supposedly Wifi capable motherboard from them, of which the Wifi didn't work.
Anyone that has ever bought a motherboard from them should sue.
During all loads, Gigabyte’s DES system bests the EPU system with figures ranging anywhere from 4.1-percent to a whopping 17-percent difference at maximum savings settings. In fact, Gigabyte claims that Asus’ EPU system "cheats" by lowering certain system frequencies by small amounts to reduce power consumption, instead of actually providing better power throughput. In the EPU "Walk Mode," which is its most efficient mode, Gigabyte claims that Asus’ EPU does its trick by down clocking 10-percent and dropping Vcore voltage — possibly affecting CPU stability.

As long as that doesn't destabilise the CPU wouldn't dropping the CPU frequency when the machine is idle be a useful energy saver not a 'cheat'?
...Gigabyte argues otherwise, saying that the EPU has absolutely no phase changing capabilities at all.
How would they know? Did they buy a motherboard, rip out the chip and run experiments on it?
At the board level, Gigabyte pointed out that Asus’ boards used poor quality capacitors that were not manufactured in Japan. "Asus uses non-Japanese made metal solid capacitors to fool you," said Gigabyte. "Asus still tries to [cut] cost down."
Oh like everyone doesn't do that to cut costs.

some of gigabyte motherbords that have wifi need a bios update before it will work
