MSI and GIGABYTE used CES 2026 to show where high-capacity DDR5 on desktop platforms is heading: 256GB with just two memory modules on Intel Z890 boards. Well, actually it might have headed, because I can’t imagine anyone being able to afford this much memory in 2026.
The company says the board pairs its OC Engine with a dedicated two-slot memory layout, and backs that up with an 18+2+1 power design using 110A SPS. Cooling is handled by an oversized heatsink assembly with a Direct Touch Cross Heat-pipe, plus a double-sided EZ M.2 Shield Frozr II and 9W/mK thermal pads.

However, nothing should prevent someone from using this device for other tasks, including gaming.
The system is clearly aimed at NVIDIA DGX Spark. DGX Spark
