Hardware detective momomo_us has shared the details of an upcoming ASRock Z890 motherboard for Intel's Core Ultra 200 (codenamed Arrow Lake) processors. Although the model wasn't mentioned, and some detailed specifications are still missing, there are still some interesting tidbits about the ASRock Z890 motherboard—with the most eyebrow-raising specification being its ability to handle overclocked DDR5 RAM up to DDR5-9200, which is faster than the best RAM on the market right now.
The motherboard is based on the premium Z890 chipset, probably from ASRock's premium Taichi lineup. Given the description of the memory support, it's likely an ATX or microATX motherboard with four memory slots. The leaked specifications provide us with a sneak peek at the official supported data rates on Arrow Lake. DDR5-5600 is supported using single- or dual-rank memory in 1DPC (DIMM per channel) configurations. In a 2DPC configuration, however, data rate support drops to DDR5-4800 for single-rank and DDR5-4400 for dual-rank memory modules.
