List of ASRock's Upcoming Z790 and H770 Motherboards Leak
Although Intel's 13th generation of Core CPUs—codenamed Raptor Lake—aren't expected to launch until sometime in September or October this year, details of some of ASRock's motherboards for the new CPUs have leaked. ASRock is preparing to launch at least nine Z790 and three H770 motherboards, of which at least four will have support for DDR4 memory, according to VideoCardz. The list is missing a flagship Aqua model, but contains Taichi, Pro RS, Phantom Gaming Lightning and Riptide models, as well as a Steel Legend H770 boards and a couple of -C models, which are likely budget boards, despite being based on the Z790 chipset.
There will be a microATX Phantom Gaming Lighting board with DDR4 and a Phantom Gaming Riptide model with DDR5 support. So far no other features have been reported and from our understanding, the Z790 won't differ hugely from the Z690 chipset. The extra PCIe lanes from the 13th gen Core CPUs are expected to support PCIe 5.0 this time around, which will allow for faster NVMe based M.2 drives to be used. Intel is not planning on integrating Thunderbolt 4 support in these CPUs based on available information.

Probably to get a better position in Google....
I am still going to go with Intel KF processor, I don't want integrated graphics, and I am firm on that based on past experience.
I most likely will go with RDNA3 GPU though, mainly out of respect, without AMD the gpu gaming industry would have died. Long live AMD and long live competition!
so "flagship boards" for unlocked and locked CPUs.
sorta. :p
It's also nice to get bashed by some random person in a forum, that have zero credentials. I've done this for well over a decade and if you somehow missed it, I've lived in Taiwan for the past 15 years and know people all over in the industry. It's possible that maybe, just maybe, I get information straight from various partners here from time to time. But no, now I'm an Intel fanboi, because you say so :banghead:
People kept asking for the original text in the first post, so I added that, then there were issues with the source links "missing", so I added a link back to the main post. The problem is that the forum doesn't have access to the source information, it's in a different database.
Did you perchance read my USB4 article and saw the pictures from ASMedia that no single other media outlet in the world has? That was only possible because of my personal connections with someone very high up in the company. So yeah, I actually know people here on a personal level that works in the industry and I get told things that I shouldn't be told and I get shown things I should be shown. Do I write about all of it? Hell no, as that could put those people in trouble and I would never do that.
I can only go by the planned release dates that the likes of AMD, Intel and Nvidia shares with its partners, since that's the information I have at hand and according to that, AMD was meant to launch AM5 at the end of August, but pushed it back about three weeks. Intel is October right now, but things might change. The reason why their partners need to know these things might, just maybe, be related to production and shipping times, so you can buy a motherboard to go with your new shiny CPU when they launch... But I guess you didn't think about that...
