In a new leak from Persian media outlet Faceit.ir which obtained its data from a local GIGABYTE distributor, several new Z890 motherboards are in the works using the new LGA 1851 socket and ready for the next generation Intel Arrow Lake processors. We should expect Intel to detail its new processors at Computex 2024 in just a few weeks, as well as GIGABYTE (and other motherboard makers) to unveil new 800 series motherboards.

GIGABYTE has at least 8 new motherboards based solely on the Z890 chipset, with the new flagship GIGABYTE Z890 AORUS EXTREME AI TOP motherboard, as well as the new Z890 AORUS MASTER AI TOP motherboard, while the third board is the Z890 AI TOP. Notice a trend? AI, AI, AI, baby.

Here is a list of upcoming Z890 motherboards from GIGABYTE:

GIGABYTE Z890 AORUS XTREME AI ΤΟΡ
GIGABYTE Z890 AORUS MASTER AI TOP
GIGABYTE Z890 AI HIGH
GIGABYTE Z890 AORUS MASTER
GIGABYTE Z890 AORUS PRO ICE
GIGABYTE Z890 AORUS ELITE WIFI
GIGABYTE Z890 AORUS ELITE AXIS
GIGABYTE Z890 A ELITE

Intel’s new high-performance Arrow Lake processors will hit desktops later this year in Arrow Lake-S form, something we should see confirmed (and detailed) at Computex 2024 in just a few weeks. Intel has now provided a preview of its next-generation Core Ultra 200 “Arrow Lake-S” desktop processors, with a look at the monolithic design featuring multiple tiles inside.

Arrow Lake will feature CPU, GPU, SoC and I/O tiles with the largest of the tiles being the CPU and SoC which are the largest rectangular in shape at the bottom and the square in the middle. A dummy tile is also used, which Intel also does with its new Lunar Lake processors.

The new Intel Core Ultra 200 “Arrow Lake-S” desktop processors will roll out with an 8+16 design (8 performance cores based on the new Lion Cove architecture and 16 efficiency cores based on the Skymont architecture). We should also see 4 low-power Crestmont-based E cores on the SoC tile, with the GPU tile containing 2-4 Alchemist “Xe-LPG” integrated graphics Xe cores.

Intel’s new Arrow Lake-S desktop processors will be Intel’s first desktop processors with the new “Core Ultra 200 series” branding, with new 800 series motherboards led by the flagship Z890 chipset to be showcased at Computex 2024, with native Thunderbolt 4. , and much more.
