Intel Z890 Chipset Rumored to Feature More PCIe Gen 4.0 Lanes, WiFi 7 and Windows 12 Support

As everyone probably expected, Intel is planning to release a new premium chipset called the Z890, but hardware leaker TCL (@leaf_hobby), who previously leaked the specifications of Intel's recently launched Xeon W3400 and W2400 workstation processors, claims to already know some of its specifications. According to the leaker, Z890 will offer four additional PCH PCIe Gen 4 lanes versus the Z790 platform (24 vs. 20), with other differences being support for WiFi 7 and what sounds like a new version of Windows. The Z890 is meant to complement Intel's Meteor Lake-S desktop processors, although rumors from December suggested that these CPUs had been canceled. (The new LGA 1851 socket also supports the upcoming lineup of Arrow Lake processors.)

I'm always in favor of more PCIe lanes.

I'm looking forward to how this one pans out.
