Intel’s upcoming Arrow Lake-S processors will be paired with 800-series chipsets, as per rumors circulating online. The leak suggests that the 800-series lineup will consist of five chipsets: Z890, W880, Q870, B860, and H810, with Z890 being targeted at enthusiasts and serious gamers. The Z890 chipset is expected to come with advanced features like 48 PCIe lanes, multiple USB ports, and support for CPU IA, BCLK, and memory overclocking.
On the other hand, the W880 chipset is said to have similar specs to the Z890 but will only support memory overclocking. The Q870 and H810 chipsets will offer fewer PCIe lanes and won’t support memory overclocking. The B860 chipset, with 34 PCIe lanes, is rumored to be the only one besides the Z890 and W880 that supports memory overclocking, albeit with fewer I/O options.
Tipster Jaykihn, who leaked the information, believes that the specs are preliminary but unlikely to change significantly before the products are released. These specifications are specifically tailored for Arrow Lake-S “Core Ultra 200” CPUs and may differ slightly for non-K and Xeon processors.
Overall, the 800-series chipsets from Intel are shaping up to offer a range of options for different user needs, from gaming enthusiasts to enterprise users. The high-end Z890 chipset appears to be the most feature-rich, catering to those who require top-tier performance and overclocking capabilities. It will be interesting to see how these chipsets perform in real-world scenarios and if they deliver on the promises made by the leaks.
