COLORFUL Introduces Intel Z690 Motherboards & DDR5 Memory

Colorful Technology Company, introduces the Intel Z690 Series motherboards for the 12th generation Intel Core processors. The new Intel Z690 Series motherboard features support for PCIe 5.0 - unlocking support for the next-generation PCI Gen 5 devices. The Intel Z690 platform is also the first mainstream desktop platform launched to support DDR5 memory. The COLORFUL iGame Z690 Ultra D5 supports DDR5 memory while the iGame Z690 Ultra supports DDR4 memory - offering flexible build options. Along with the iGame Z690 Series motherboards, COLORFUL also presents the Battle-AX DDR5 Memory for the Intel Z690 motherboards.

The 12th generation Intel Core processors, also known as the Alder Lake CPUs, come in with up to 16 cores, and the Intel Intelligent Overclocking Technology to deliver boost clocks of up to 5.2 GHz. The next-generation DDR5-enabled Intel platform uses a base memory frequency of 4800 MHz and can up over 6000 MHz in memory overclocking. The PCIe 5.0 lanes offer higher bandwidth than PCIe 4.0. Hence, the PCIe 5.0 lanes offer backward compatibility with PCIe 4.0 and PCIe 3.0 devices.

Well, I've never really paid much attention to Colorful's stuff, but I have to say I like the design aesthetics I see here. Hopefully these items are as well made & engineered as they appear. I look forward to some in-depth reviews & tests reports :)
