so they switched to intersil? analog i mean, they switched to analog from a chil digital controller?

ISL6367 which they use on Z77 boards now aren't digital like they say, they call it hybrid digital, same as MSI calls analog controllers. Why? Because it has SVID, which they have always had in analog PWMs, but the error feedback is still analog.

Edit: yea deff analog because digital PWM makers have no doublers that can support DrMOS like that. Intersil and uPI do tho lol. I guess they are taking gigabyte's place as phase overdoers.
