The Z790 chipset is not unexpectedly present on ASRock’s most high-end Taichi series.

PG Lightning is a new series launched under the Phantom Gaming series of ASRock’s gaming brand. It is aimed at gamers with limited budgets. This time, it brings the Z790 PG Lightning to the Intel platform. Like the Z790 PRO RS, both motherboards use a 14+1+1 phase SPS Dr.MOS design, providing a 2.5Gb Ethernet port, and four PCIe 4.0 M.2 NVMe SSD slots. In addition, the ITX motherboard Z790 PG-ITX/TB4 with Thunderbolt 4 ports is specially designed for small case lovers.
Another unique feature of the ASRock Z790 motherboard is the provision of an eDP connector, a new customization concept that allows users to install an additional monitor in the chassis itself, opening up new possibilities for a personalized design. ASRock says it will debut a 13.3-inch side panel kit that perfectly matches the standard form factor chassis.
ASRock has not provided the price of these products and the specific time to market.
