Gigabyte Z490, X299X & TRX40 Motherboards For Intel & AMD Leak Out

More Gigabyte motherboards take been certified (leaked) at EEC and this time, we get to see not only the new Z490 lineup but as well the HEDT X299X and TRX40 series products. The Intel Z490 line leaked a while ago just every bit expected, at that place are more models that Gigabyte / AORUS is working on.

Gigabyte Z490 / X299X For 10th Gen Core / Core-Ten CPUs and TRX40 Motherboards For AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3000 CPUs Leak Out

Concluding week, we mostly got to come across the mainstream 400-series motherboards for Intel's 10th Gen CPU lineup codenamed Comet Lake-Southward. In that location were a couple of models leaked out with the peak-end Z490 boards missing out. Well, don't worry equally those high-end variants have at present been listed too.

Gigabyte / AORUS Z490 Series Motherboards For Intel tenth Gen Comet Lake-S CPUs

AORUS would be working on the higher-cease parts which would include the Z490 AORUS Xtreme and Z490 AORUS Xtreme Waterforce as the flagship products. Following is the complete list of the Z490 line:

Z490 AORUS XTREME
Z490 AORUS XTREME WATERFORCE
Z490 DESIGNARE
Z490I AORUS ULTRA
Z490 AORUS ULTRA
Z490 AORUS PRO

While the 10th Gen Cadre lineup is still a while away from launch, Gigabyte is also working on their HEDT X299X motherboards. The '10' has been added to differentiate the newer X299 motherboards from the existing serial as AORUS already offered a refreshed with the 9th Gen Core-X lineup. The X299 chipset is the same as the current models simply the specifications of the motherboards which include certain things similar I/O and power delivery accept definitely received upgrades on the newer motherboards to offer well-optimized support for Intel's 10th Gen X-series 'Cascade Lake-X' CPUs.

Gigabyte / AORUS X299X Series Motherboards For Intel tenth Gen Cascade Lake-X CPUs

The Intel 10th Gen X-Serial processors which would include the flagship Cadre i9-10980XE and more are expected to arrive in October, offering higher clock speeds and aggressive pricing to compete against AMD'south HEDT offerings. The Gigabyte X299X series motherboards would include:

X299 AORUS Xtreme Waterforce
X299 AORUS Master
X299X DESIGNARE EX-10G
X299X DESIGNARE EX

Nosotros received a first-hand look of these motherboards back at Computex 2019. They are definitely pinnacle-notch designs which wait much ameliorate than the existing X299 parts and if Gigabyte's claims hold true, they would also offer much better power commitment systems to the processor, offering not bad performance, both stock and overclocked.

Gigabyte / AORUS TRX40 Series Motherboards For AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3000 CPUs

Moving on to the TRX40 parts, well Gigabyte is besides working on five new motherboards for the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3000 series processors. The TRX40 platform would offering quad-channel retentivity and reportedly offering support for 'Enthusiast' X-series processors while the workstation parts would be supported by the higher-end WRX80 platforms with octa-channel memory support. The Gigabyte offerings include the following:

TRX40 AORUS Xtreme Waterforce
TRX40 AORUS Xtreme
TRX40 AORUS Main
TRX40 AORUS Pro WIFI
TRX40 DESIGNARE

The TRX80 and WRX80 would also make it to the certification in the coming days but we don't have physical details about the platforms as of now. AMD's CEO, Lisa Su, did mention in a tweet that we would receive more information on tertiary Gen Threadripper later this year so we should definitely expect for that.
