Intel Core Ultra 200 Series Processors
On the same day, Intel launched its highly anticipated Core Ultra 200 Series desktop processors, built on the cutting-edge Arrow Lake architecture. These processors introduce a hybrid design with performance and efficiency cores, while omitting hyper-threading. Notably, the processors utilize TSMC’s 3nm process, reducing power consumption by up to 30% and improving IPC performance by 16% over previous generations.
In addition to the LGA1851 interface, these processors incorporate NPU units for AI computing, signaling the start of the desktop AI PC era. This integration promises to revolutionize high-performance computing and AI-driven applications.
iGame Z890 VULCAN X/W
The iGame Z890 VULCAN X/W motherboard features a striking black-and-white design, with an E-ATX form factor similar to its predecessor, the Z790. The motherboard is equipped with Vulcan heat dissipation armor, an alloy backplate for enhanced durability, and ARGB lighting integrated into the Vulcan Infinity Mirror beside the VRM heatsink.
The board boasts a 20+1+1+1 phase power supply, capable of delivering robust power to support Intel Core Ultra 200 Series processors. It also features four alloy-reinforced DDR5 memory slots, supporting up to 8400MT/s memory speeds.
In terms of connectivity, the iGame Z890 VULCAN X/W offers five M.2 slots (one PCIe 5.0 x4 and four PCIe 4.0 x4) and an IO panel packed with USB4 40Gbps Type-C ports, dual 2.5G/5G network ports, and Wi-Fi 7 support.
