Intel z390: wireless ca connectivity, bluetooth 5.0 and usb 3.1 gen2

Intel made the announcement of its upcoming Z390 chipset official by posting the full specs on its official site. The Intel Z390 chipset has been rumored since last year as a successor to the conventional Intel Z370 chipset, but it appears that they both share the same features with just a few additions that were also integrated into the 300 series chipsets (H370, B360, Q370, H310) .

Intel made the announcement of its next Intel Z390 chipset official

The Intel Z390 PCH block diagram shows two very interesting things. The Intel Z390 chipset is not a huge leap over the Z370 chipset. Second, the chipset has brought the same feature set that was recently released on entry-level motherboards, but that were not in the Z370 lacquers that launched last year.

These new features are now available on conventional motherboards (excluding the Z370 chipset):

• Intel Wireless-AC 802.11 AC and Bluetooth 5.0 Intel Wireless AC Adapter Up to 6 USB 3.1 Gen 2 ports

On Z370 motherboards, manufacturers who want to offer these features have to turn to third-party drivers, which increases costs. Z390 chipset motherboards will have solutions that will make use of the chipset as long as all its features save costs, while high-end motherboards can still opt for third-party drivers to offer better capabilities.

The Intel chipset is released on dates close to AMD's Z490, which would be offering greater I / O capabilities than current X470 motherboards. We hope that the first motherboards will appear at Computex 2018.
