A Gigabyte motherboard leak has just revealed the name of the flagship motherboard chipset for Intel Arrow Lake, as well as adding more evidence that this new gaming CPU lineup will feature the Intel Core Ultra branding. The new CPUs will use a new socket called LGA1851, which will require a new motherboard, with top-end products apparently based on a new Intel Z890 motherboard chipset.
This follows the naming convention of Intel’s last few chipsets for its best motherboard offerings, with the Z790 and Z690 chipsets coming before it, so it isn’t a huge surprise, but this is the first time we’ve seen it in writing on a physical product. If you want to get the most out of Intel’s best gaming CPU options when they come out, then you’ll want an Intel Z890 motherboard, as this is reportedly the only chipset that will enable you to overclock your CPU.
