Where Is Intel's Z390? It's NOT At Computex... (But ASRock Are!)

2018-06-07
a big thanks to MSI and Corsair for sponsoring our Computex 2018 coverage check out courses fancy new Vengeance RGB memory and don't forget to arm yourself with the game-changing performance that only msi geforce gtx ten series graphics cards can deliver give yourself the competitive edge you're looking for even in the most challenging titles fast powerful and made to game visit the link in the description now to learn more welcome back to hardware own box where he at the asrock booth to check out some of their latest Intel products now I was expecting to see some Intel's e3 90 motherboards here at the show at especially the asrock booth but as it turns out Intel's e3 90 platform hasn't been launched at Computex 2018 we haven't seen any z 390 boards at the asrock booth or really for any other company here at the show so clearly Intel is still working on this l3 19 platform and we'll be showing it off perhaps later this year of course we have seen some said 390 leaks in the past couple of months but like I said they're just not here at the show yet so again we were waiting to see that later in the year hopefully alongside their new 8 core CPUs that have also been rumored and that's pretty disappointing to be honest aside from the core i7 8086 K that was leaked a couple of days before Computex kicked off Intel really hasn't shown any new consumer components or platforms that you'll be able to get your hands on in the coming months we've been hearing about Z 390 through various rumors for months and months now and in fact it was just a couple of weeks ago that Intel themselves accidentally released documents for the Zed 390 chipset detailing every aspect of the platform we thought this accidental document leak would definitely mean said 390 was coming at Computex but we're here at the show now and not one company was showing off new Zed 390 boards so if you are eagerly awaiting the Zed 390 platform for its native USB 3.1 gen2 support and integrated Wi-Fi 802 dot 11 AC support we're sorry to say that you might be waiting a bit longer with Intel struggling to get next gen chips out the door intend animators it's looking more and more likely that eight core coffee Lake will launch later this year is Intel's Knight's generation of desktop processors perhaps said 390 will launch alongside it or a bit before those CPUs it's hard to say for certain at this point but it was a bit surprising tip the Computex show for only to find nosey 390 boards anywhere but we do have some other cool things to check out here from asrock and Intel so let's get straight into it okay so we're here with as Rox latest Z 370 Taichi platform that they're showing off here at Computex 2018 in fact it actually has two of their rx 580 phantom gaming GPUs in there as well so it's pretty exciting but the key feature of this particular system that they're showing off is intel's obtain memory now if you do have a mainly hard drive driven system maybe ever start an SSD in there as well obtain memory does have the ability to accelerate your game loading times which is partially what they're showing here with some of their benchmarks now actually built an Intel obtain memory system in a live stream on the channel just a couple of weeks ago and I might be doing a bit of testing on octane in the coming weeks with that particular system so it'd be really interesting to see how it actually goes as far as speeding up games and accelerating that sort of thing so stay tuned for a bit more of that on Hardware unboxed all right we're here with another Intel system at the azrog booth in fact on this side I'm actually being cooled by one of their mining rigs that's running at the moment pretty nice to get some of that cool breeze for the Taiwanese heat but on this side we have a fatality X to 99 system and the cool thing about this particular system is that it's running their ultra quad m dot two cards that's a PCIe 16 x expander card it's got four m dot two cards inside and running in there are four of Intel's obtained SSD 905 piece and we'll show you some of their benchmark runs that they've got with that in raid zero and let me tell you there's some extremely impressive performance numbers with that super fast SSD of course we already know Intel so obtain SSDs are really really fast and it's cool to see that as a demonstration here at the asrock booth alright so that's it for this video from the asrock booth as we were leaving both Steve and I were given these phantom gaming bags with some cool goodies inside actually let's take a look and see what asrock has been given us so we have here's something in a package looks like a custom asrock hat here so do I look cool Steve oh good yeah alright and there's there's one other item in here we've got an phantom gaming something but this is a mousepad what do you reckon yeah definitely a mousepad steve says quite a nice-looking mousepad there so that's all the cool goodies that we were given at the asrock booth hope you liked this video don't forget to Like and subscribe and check out the rest of our Computex 2018 coverage i'll catch you next time
