The rendering of the ASRock Z690 motherboard is exposed: including Taichi, Extreme and Steel Legend series
Intel is about to release the 12th-generation Core series processors. The first Alder Lake-S processors only have products with the “K” and “KF” suffixes, and the supporting Z690 chipset. This means that in the early stage of the new-generation platform, only Z690 motherboards are available. Recently, news about the new generation of motherboards from many manufacturers has been circulated on the Internet. For example, ASRock and its foundry NZXT have exposed quite a few different models of Intel 600 series motherboards in August.

However, at the time, ASRock’s list of Intel platform 600 series motherboards lacked Taichi, Aqua, and OC Formula series.
It is understood that these high-end positioning products are still under development and will be launched later. According to VideoCardz reports, recent renderings of ASRock’s Z690 motherboards have been exposed, including Taichi, Extreme, Steel Legend, and Phantom Gaming series. Z690 Taichi finally appeared this time.
