For the most part, change happens slowly in the world of PCs and that's especially true of the humble USB port. Most motherboard manufacturers only throw in a handful of Type-C connectors on the rear IO panel but ASRock has decided enough is enough. Its forthcoming Z890 Taichi Aqua eschews Type-A altogether, offering ten Type-C sockets instead.
News of ASRock's bold move was reported by Tom's Hardware, though I've noticed that the latest AMD and Intel motherboards are all sporting more Type-C ports on the rear panel. For example, MSI's X870 Tomahawk Wi-Fi has three and two of those are USB4 capable. That seems like a fair number to me but ASRock clearly thinks otherwise.
