ASUS Z690 motherboards photos leak (DDR4 and DDR5 configurations)

ASUS will offer DDR4 and DDR5 versions of its Prime motherboards, which will be equipped with the Intel Z690 chipset. This is visible in images that have been shared on the internet. The Prime series includes four motherboards with DDR5 memory slots and six motherboards with DDR4 memory slots.

Even though the next Intel Alder Lake processors will be the first consumer processors to enable DDR5, the new memory will almost certainly be much more expensive than DDR4. In addition, the processors are compatible with that type of memory, and it appears that manufacturers will first produce Z690 motherboards in both DDR4 and DDR5 configurations, respectively. A number of ASUS motherboards have been photographed and got released online by VideoCardz, demonstrating this. It pertains to 10 motherboards from the ASUS Prime line of products. Those are motherboards in the mid-range price range. According to earlier registrations, there will also be Z690 models in the ROG Strix series that will support DDR4 and DDR5 memory. The new motherboards will be on exhibit for the first time at this event. Versions of DDR4 memory are identified by the suffix D4 in their names. DDR5 versions are distinguished by the absence of any additional indication in the name.
