Description:
Maybe these motherboards will offer some options for fine-tuning AI performance with next-gen processors, somehow?

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Gigabyte has a bunch of motherboards in the pipeline for Intels next-gen
Arrow Lake processors, and they come with an unsurprising twist the
inclusion of AI (well, everything has to have AI these days, right?).

The leak of eight Gigabyte Z890 motherboards for Arrow Lake is also telling
in that this is another piece of spillage that hints at a launch coming
sooner rather than later.

Mind you, we need to be cautious about the source here, as its not one were familiar with. As Wccftech flagged up, its a Persian tech site called Faceit.ir , so add plenty of seasoning, though the details apparently come from a local Gigabyte distributor.

Some of the model names include the Gigabyte Z890 Aorus Xtreme AI TOP and the Z890 Master AI TOP, so we can safely assume that this indicates some AI-related feature. (Especially as there are vanilla versions of these boards without the AI TOP naming scheme).

Maybe the AI TOP motherboards will offer BIOS options to tune the AI acceleration available with desktop Arrow Lake processors ? Thats a bit of a leap, but a logical enough one but there is another possibility. Prevailing rumors

The alternative possibility is that the motherboards could bring in AI to
help fine-tune and tweak your Arrow Lake CPU for all-round performance. Well, what could go wrong with that idea (ahem)?

Anyway, all we can do is speculate right now, and for all we know, this leak could be a fabrication, or the AI name could be some piece of gimmickry from Gigabyte.

Whatever the case, with all the leaks springing up around Arrow Lake of late
, the prevailing rumor winds now seem to be blowing in the direction of an earlier launch than expected for Intels next-gen desktop silicon.

We might even see an initial revelation at Computex 2024, perhaps, which happens next month (though that wont be a launch as such, of course as the Core Ultra 200 family of processors definitely wont be arriving until later
in 2024 ). You might also like Leaked plans reveal Intel could release 21 Arrow Lake desktop CPUs this year What is a processor: Your CPU explained in plain terms These are all the best cheap graphics card deals
