The announcement included a total of six new models, specifically within the AORUS lineup, as well as two additional non-AORUS designs. These motherboards target various market segments, from affordable to premium.
Key highlights include:
– The Gigabyte AORUS Elite is positioned for the lower mid-range market.
– The AORUS PRO series serves the upper mid-range segment.
– The high-end X870E AORUS Master, crafted for overclocking enthusiasts, boasts a powerful VRM and extensive connectivity options.
For budget-conscious buyers, the X870E Eagle WiFi 7 and X870 Gaming X WiFi 7 provide a cost-effective alternative to the AORUS series while maintaining strong specifications for modern PCs. The X870E Eagle WiFi 7, which debuted quietly, features 18 power phases and supports up to 8000MHz DDR5 memory. Meanwhile, the X870 AORUS Elite WiFi 7 v1.x showcases a 20-power phase VRM and new EZ-Latch features for simpler M.2 and GPU installations.
The upgraded X870E AORUS Elite WiFi 7 offers improved connectivity and enhanced RGB lighting on the I/O shroud. The X870 AORUS Elite WiFi 7 ICE, differentiated mainly by its white-themed PCB and heatsinks, parallels the X870 AORUS Elite WiFi 7 v1.x.
