Z370 motherboards axed - Asus accidentally lets slip details on 19 Intel Z390 motherboards

The entire Asus Z390 motherboard lineup has leaked online ahead of the chipsets rumoured Q3 launch... all 19 of them. The document directly from the Asus website confirms the Z390 rollout will be more than just a token gesture and insinuates Z390 motherboards will truly replace Z370 motherboards at the top of the Coffee Lake mobo stack.

Rumours of a new chipset have been floating around ever since the first Z370 motherboards launches back toward the end of 2017 with a vanguard force of Coffee Lake chips. The older chipset will make for a new addition into the mainstream market once they launch, which will likely be before September ends.

Picked up a new motherboard? You’ll need one of the best CPUs for gaming for the perfect setup.

The Asus lineup includes 19 motherboards suited to all walks of life. That includes the high-end ROG Maximus XI range, ROG Strix, TUF, Prime, and Dragon motherboards. That certainly makes it look like Z370 will be going EOL in the wake of the new chipset arriving, otherwise the more budget-oriented mobos, such as the TUF, would likely not see a brand new iteration with Z390.

In the overclocker-friendly Maximus XI lineup (spotted by Tom’s Hardware) there’s typically a whole sub-class, featuring the Maximus XI Apex, Maximus XI Code, Maximus XI Extreme, Maximus XI Formula, Maximus XI Hero (sans wifi), and Maximus XI Hero.
