New motherboards will surprise us with a big performance jump
Planning to build a computer system? That’s great, because the new motherboards for Intel Arrow Lake processors will support very fast RAM.
The premiere of processors is fast approaching Intel Arrow Lake for desktops, which are set to debut in October. They will use new lithography and architectures Intel Lion Cove and Skymont. This is going to translate into a leap in performance and none of the issues that plague 13th and 14th generation Intel Core processors.
The new motherboards will be available on October 24, 2024
Of course, traditionally for the Blues we are also waiting for a change of socket from LGA 1700 to LGA1851so the need to replace motherboards. Partners like ASUS, ASRock, GIGABYTE and MSI are ready with their new platforms. And one of them revealed some interesting information.
Unspecified ASRock motherboard with chipset Intel Z890 to Offer DDR5 9200+ MHz RAM Support. Of course, in a rather unlikely application, i.e. using one single rank module. In the case of two or more, we are talking about 6800+ MTs.
Despite everything this is huge progress. The previous generation ASRocak flagship offered memory support of 7200+/6000+ MT/s. It is important to remember that these are guaranteed speeds. Owners of good modules and CPU with a strong controller can count on more. Already in this generation it was possible to achieve 8400 MT/s.
What does this mean for users? Better performance in games and programsbut also great overclocking potential. The first Intel Z890 motherboards are expected to hit the market October 24, 2024. With unlocked Intel Arrow Lake-S processors.
