The Best Motherboards For Gaming Builds — 2025 Edition

Your motherboard may not increase the FPS, but it helps your components reach their full potential, eventually making a positive impact on the performance. In 2025, we saw numerous motherboard launches, but we already had plenty from the last year as well, offering support to the latest-gen processors. We have tested several motherboards ourselves, compatible with both the latest AMD and Intel processors, and we already have the charts and stuff that conclude the winners.

It can be quite cumbersome to choose the best one

NVIDIA and AMD Explore Intel 14A Node, Apple and Broadcom Come After Intel EMIB Packaging

NVIDIA and AMD are reportedly evaluating Intel Foundry's 14A node, while Apple and Broadcomare considering Intel's EMIB packaging for a custom server accelerator. According to GF Securities Hong Kong, these developments reflect a growing willingness among top designers to reconsider their sources for both front-end process technology and back-end assembly. Capacity limits at alternative suppliers like TSMC are likely a key factor prompting these exploratory moves, with packaging availability now a central constraint for large design houses.

Apple’s Server Chip To Use Intel EMIB Packaging Amid Choked TSMC CoWoS

It is widely known now that Apple is designing its bespoke server chip in collaboration with Broadcom . While the chip is expected to leverage TSMC's fabs for actual production, a new tidbit suggests Apple might rope in Intel for back-end packaging.

We already know two things: Intel's 18A/14A processes are shaping up to be very competitive nodes, and the real constraint with TSMC at the moment lies with its choked CoWoS supply.
