Unlike the other Sniper-series boards (Intel), the G1.Sniper A88X is nothing but a mainstream motherboard equipped with higher grade audio. The Sniper uses 4+2 phase analog VRM while the F2A88X-UP4 features a 6+2 phase digital VRM.

Personally I would rather see a 4+4 phase VRM for the high-end FM2r2 motherboards, as the relative power density of the iGPU on Kaveri is higher than ever before.
Gigabyte writes that F2A88X-UP4 is a 8+2: http://www.gigabyte.com/products/pro...px?pid=4709#ov
