Asus is preparing at least five motherboards based on Intel’s range-topping Z790 chipset that supports DDR4 memory. Additionally, the motherboard supports Intel’s flagship 13th Generation Core “Raptor Lake” processors, allowing users to continue using their existing high-performance memory modules.
Asus launched two TUF Gaming (TUF Gaming Z790-Plus D4 and TUF Gaming Z790-Plus WiFi D4) and three Prime series (Prime Z790-P D4, Prime Z790M-Plus D4, and Prime Z790-P WiFi D4) We plan to release it. ) Motherboards with his Z790 chipset from Intel will support DDR4 memory. EAC A filing discovered by @momomo_usOf course, submitting to the EAC doesn’t always mean one product will be released, but three out of five motherboards are on the South Korean RRA regulator’s list (1, 2, 3), so Asus is actually preparing an Intel Z790 platform that supports DDR4.
Affordable Asustek’s TUF Gaming motherboards cater to demanding gamers looking for performance, reliability and overclocking capabilities. TUF Gaming’s mainboard sits below the company’s ROG platform within the company’s hierarchy, but it’s still a relatively advanced motherboard with premium features.
The Asus Prime family sits under TUF Gaming but offers premium features, an enhanced Voltage Regulation Module (VRM) that allows for overclocking, and various tuning features. So it’s only natural that the Prime Z790 family would include an advanced LGA1700 motherboard that supports DDR4 memory sticks.
Like it or not, the era of DDR4 memory is coming to an end, so even though the current 600-series and upcoming 700-series platforms support DDR4 and DDR5, Intel has been skeptical about DDR5 SDRAM. likes to talk But motherboard makers tend to give their customers what they want, and many want to stick with good old DDR4 for a while. As such, both Asus and MSI offer his DDR4 for his Z790-based platform.
DDR4 memory has been around for seven years, and high-end memory module makers are selling a ton of enthusiast-grade DDR4 modules with data transfer speeds in the realm of DDR5 (but with lower latency and lower performance is excellent). It makes no sense to throw those modules away (or sell them at a bargain price), so it’s definitely reasonable to keep them for a few years.
The biggest issue with the mid-range Z790 motherboards for Intel’s Raptor Lake processors is whether or not they will properly support the rumored 350W mode that allows for extreme turbo frequencies, and they have to be advanced in order to power the CPU perfectly. A voltage regulation module is required. TUF Gaming and Prime are still premium his motherboards, but not as good as the Asus ROG family. It’s exciting to see how the various Intel Z790 platforms perform.
