These next-generation motherboards are set to redefine the standards in performance, AI integration, and user experience for enthusiasts and professionals alike. Powered by state-of-the-art artificial intelligence, these motherboards push the boundaries of what's possible in computing.

Infinite Memory Performance

GIGABYTE Z890 lineup equips the D5 Bionic Corsa technology to create phenomenal new peaks in memory performance to DDR5 XMP 9500 and above. A true marvel of AI-enhanced overclocking technology for DDR5 memory, D5 Bionic Corsa boasts four key technologies from software, hardware to firmware side. The AORUS AI SNATCH and AI SNATCH Engine present AI-overclocking for ultimate performance, while AI-Driven PCB Design and HyperTune BIOS deliver AI-design for signal enhancement on motherboards. The AORUS AI SNATCH is an auto-overclocking software by AI model, and enables users to unleash utmost performance with one-click activation. The AI SNATCH Engine is the AI model served as the core of AORUS AI SNATCH software, trained by AI TOP on diverse overclocking datasets to improve precision and optimize performance with stability. The AI-Driven PCB Technology employs AI algorithms to optimize vias, routing and stackups, while the Hypertune BIOS uses AI to optimize MRC and adapt to signals for peak efficiency, significant memory clock boost, and enhanced overall performance.

Ultimate DIY-Friendly Experience

GIGABYTE Z890 motherboards feature innovative designs that take DIY-friendliness to new heights. The WIFI EZ-Plug combines Wi-Fi antenna connections into a single adapter, eliminating tedious screw-in installations. The EZ-Debug Zone centralizes diagnostic LEDs and control buttons for streamlined troubleshooting, including an optimal DRAM Installation Indicator LED which will turn on when a module is installed into a non-recommended slot. The Sensor Panel Link incorporates an onboard video port to simplify sensor panel setup without cable management hassles. The PCIe EZ-Latch Plus delivers screwless installation for PCIe graphics cards, while M.2 EZ-Latch Click and M.2 EZ-Latch Plus allow for tool-free installation of M.2 SSDs and heatsinks. These enhancements significantly simplify the build process, making assembly more accessible and enjoyable for users of all experience levels.

Tailored Computing

Our upgraded UC BIOS features an intuitive interface with advanced performance tuning options. The AI PerfDrive utilizes intelligent evaluation to recommend optimal usage profiles based on user’s actual system temperature performance. The Multi-theme Design offers customizable BIOS themes with one simple click, including a new grayscale option for immersive user experience. The AIO Fan Control allows adjustment of AIO fan speeds directly in BIOS, beneficial for non-Windows users. Moreover, the exclusive partnership with HWiNFO brings enhanced capabilities. The Power Monitor provides real-time monitoring of CPU Vcore power phase outputs and efficiency. The AORUS/HWiNFO OSD displays system information as text or graphs, overlaid on full-screen applications and games without additional software. These improvements offer users greater control and insight into their system's performance, enabling a truly tailored computing experience.

Cutting-Edge Performance and Thermal Management

GIGABYTE Z890 lineup supports the latest Intel® Core™ Ultra processors (Series 2), leveraging robust VRM solution up to total 21 phases with 110A SPS for unparalleled stability and power delivery. GIGABYTE's exclusive NPU Overdrive feature in BIOS supercharges Intel's latest processors, boosting AI performance by 23% more in real-world tests. At the core is a server-grade PCB with up to 8 layers, providing a robust foundation for superior overclocking and gaming stability.

We've implemented innovative cooling solutions to keep your system running efficiently. The DDR Wind Blade and vented back panel work in tandem with comprehensive VRM and M.2 thermal management to create a synergistic heat dissipation system. This ensures your components stay cool even under intense workloads.

We've also introduced a VRM Thermal Balance mechanism to address the unique challenges posed by the new generation Intel CPUs, which have their primary power input at the top and can lead to concentrated heat in a more confined space. This mechanism includes a heatpipe design that balances temperature across both sides of the VRM, and optimized PWM firmware that redistributes current output. By using the RL-ILM (Reduced Load-Independent Loading Mechanism) also improves heat conduction by up to 4°C and prevents potential bending of the CPU IHS (integrated heat spreader). This allows overclockers and enthusiasts to push their CPUs to the limit without worry.

All-round Connectivity

Our Z890 motherboards are at the forefront of connectivity, offering a seamless blend of next generation wired and wireless networks. The integration of PCIe 5.0 storage and the latest Thunderbolt 4 ports ensures ultimate reliability and speed in data transfer. The Wi-Fi 7 coupled with GIGABYTE's directional ultra-high gain antenna dramatically enhances bandwidth, which delivers lightning-fast file transfer speeds and creates an immersive environment perfect for VR experiences.

We've taken wireless connectivity a step further with our innovative WIFI Compass feature in the GCC software. This innovative tool displays real-time signal gain values between the antenna and your WIFI router, empowering users to optimize their antenna placement for optimum performance.

Dual Thunderbolt™ 4 compatible USB4 ports are a standout feature, offering an impressive 40Gb/s speed. These versatile ports support DisplayPort 1.4a and allow for the connection of up to 5 devices each port, including 4K/8K displays, all while providing robust charging capabilities. This level of connectivity ensures that your system is ready for any task, from high-end content creation to immersive gaming experiences.

AI TOP Series

As we strive for perfection, we're proud to introduce the leading-edge AI TOP series on the Z890 platform. This series includes the flagship Z890 AORUS XTREME AI TOP, Z890 AORUS MASTER AI TOP, and Z890 AI TOP, combines all the high-end features of our AORUS and AI TOP lines. These motherboards support dual graphics cards, up to dual 10GbE LAN, and dual Thunderbolt 5 along with our exclusive AI TOP Utility. The AI TOP Z890 lineup is specifically engineered to unleash ultimate computational power, making it possible to train your own AI on your desk.

In this new era of AI, the AI-Driven GIGABYTE Z890 is poised to unleash infinite performance. It's more than just a motherboard; it's a gateway to the future of computing, designed to meet and exceed the demands of all users, enthusiasts, and professionals.
