Lenovo to enter motherboard market under its gaming brand Legion

Lenovo to enter motherboard market under its gaming brand Legion

It is not the first time this rumor pops up, this round it substantiated with some proof of that pudding though. Legion is Lenovo's Gaming brand, and they seem to be preparing to launch motherboards for it, Legion, including new models for the future 10th generation of Intel desktop processors, Comet Lake-S.

Photos of two motherboards surfaced, a model with a 300 Series chipset for current Coffee Lake processors and yeah, a model with a 400 Series chipset (B460) for Comet Lake-S. The products do not loom half bad either, with 8+2 power phases, VRM heatsinks ( NCP81228MNTXG-1-GP Upper MOS: PK6H6BA-GP Lower MOS: PK650BA-GP 4 + 8pin input 200w + stable power supply) with the Legion inscription, and double M.2 with heatsink included, which also have Legion written on its surface.

The products can hold Four DIMM modules get Wi-Fi, and we spot dome audio capacitors looking to improve the quality of the audio (gosh, whatever happened to dedicated soundcards eh?). it should be interesting to observe if Lenovo is going big with Z490 as well. It is an interesting fist move from them though.

I think the biggest news here is that Lenovo actually has a gaming brand. Who knew?

The rear IO looks pretty sparsely populated, only one full sized PCIe port means this is either going to be very cheep, terrible or possibly both.

Lenovo Legion laptops (and to those who still buys them prebuilt desktops) are among the most popular gaming brands out there along with Acer Predator and Asus ROG simply due to agressive pricing. Not saying they are the best brand, but they are hardly unknown.

The real shocker here is that Lenovo seems to use actual fins for their VRM cooling. I still don't get the blocks of alu that way to many manufacturers have been using for the past few years, finned heatsinks means that even crappy VRM designs can give decent power delivery for overclocking.

HP, Dell, Futjisu and Lenovo of course have their own "gaming" brand.
And as written in previous post, Legion laptop are very popular due to the price and the quality of the build (BTW Omen (the HP gaming brand) is nearly at the same level of sale than Asus... being quite doesn't mean inactive lol).

The DNA of lenovo is stability, last long and no over hyped thing.
If they keep it for Legion motherboard it might be around Asrock price and quality... clearly not bad.

I hope this rumor will concretise in something real.

Considering this is a b460 board it is most likely aimed to mid or low end market really so such cost cutting measures make sense , if they bring good motherboards ..they are very welcome in my books !
