Gigabyte has subbmitted its range of Intel Comet Lake motherboards to the Eurasian Economic Commission registration process today. There are a host of Z490, B460, and H410 motherboards in the listing, giving us a full range of boards ready for the next generation of Intel’s 14nm CPUs.
It’s interesting that Gigabyte would be registering its next-gen motherboards so early when it’s widely expected that the Comet Lake chips, bearing Intel’s first non-HEDT 10-core processor, wouldn’t be seeing the light of day until well into 2020. There are a total of eight Z490 boards listed, with three of them being micro-ATX versions, ten B460 boards, and six H410 options. The fact that we’re seeing all the different chipsets represented in this listing, and not just the high-end Z490 alone, suggests that Intel won’t be doing the standard staggered launch it traditionally does. And maybe suggests it could happen sooner than we think.
I’m an absolute sucker for that stormtrooper chic aesthetic - that’s why I’ve always loved Asus’ Prime Deluxe boards - so I’m particularly interested in the touted Gigabyte Z490 White edition. Give me some simple white panelling and chipset covers and I’ll be happy as Lord Vader.
