During the Computex event, Gigabyte showcased its upcoming motherboards for both Intel and AMD’s next generation processors. The Gigabyte X870E Aorus Extreme is set to accompany AMD’s Ryzen 9000-series Granite Ridge chips, which are expected to be released in July. The motherboard for AMD processors seemed less mysterious compared to its Intel counterpart.
The Intel boards displayed by Gigabyte had their processors and sockets covered with white tape, leaving attendees puzzled about the new “Next-gen Z Aero G” motherboard. However, eagle-eyed PC Gamer enthusiasts managed to uncover some clues. The motherboard appears to be a Gigabyte Z890 based on the Intel badge on the socket and the imprint “LGA 1851” on the CPU retaining clip, matching the number of pins in the new Intel CPU socket. It is speculated that the Z890 motherboard will support Intel’s Arrow Lake chips, making it a highly anticipated release.
In addition to the sleek Aero G motherboard, Gigabyte also unveiled the “Next-gen Z Aorus Elite X Ice” board, adding to the intrigue surrounding their upcoming releases. The Gigabyte Ice range boards, including the white Aero G model, offer a clean and minimalist design that appeals to those looking for a modern aesthetic. For users preferring a more classic look, Gigabyte also offers the black finish option for their next-generation motherboards.
Gigabyte introduced its reverse connector boards, previously known under the Project Stealth moniker, at Computex. Legal issues in the US temporarily halted the release of these innovative designs until an agreement was reached with the patent holder. Case manufacturers are showing enthusiasm for the reverse connection concept, with Gigabyte, MSI, and Asus leading the charge. The return of the reverse connector boards signifies a promising future for this innovative technology.
As technology continues to evolve, Gigabyte remains at the forefront of motherboard innovation. The showcased motherboards at Computex offer a glimpse into the exciting advancements in hardware design and performance. With a diverse range of options catering to different preferences, Gigabyte is poised to meet the needs of both casual users and enthusiasts alike. Stay tuned for more updates on Gigabyte’s upcoming releases and witness the next generation of cutting-edge motherboards.
