ASUS today announced the B860 series of motherboards for Intel Core Ultra processors (Series 2), which includes models from the ROG Strix, TUF Gaming and Prime families. The value proposition of the ASUS B860 motherboard lineup is off the charts, thanks to its thoroughly modern platform. Users will find features that used to be exclusive to enthusiast-class ASUS motherboards. Every model supports the latest high-bandwidth CUDIMM DDR5 memory kits, ensuring that users can easily get a system up to speed with AEMP III profiles. And PCIe 5.0 connectivity abounds, giving users access to the fastest graphics cards of today and tomorrow.

Those looking to take advantage of the next generation of wireless networking can opt for an ROG Strix or TUF Gaming motherboard equipped with WiFi 7. Faster, smarter and ready for a low-interference connection to a compatible router over the wide-open 6 GHz band, WiFi 7 gives users a whole-home network upgrade. M.2 device support has also been bolstered. Previously released B760 motherboards typically offered two to three M.2 slots, and the fastest maxed out with PCIe 4.0 connectivity. The new ASUS B860 motherboard lineup now includes several options with four M.2 slots, and every model in the series features a PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot ready for a blazing-fast storage drive. Whether users are building a large gaming library, accelerating their creative efforts with dedicated drives for project storage or simply taking advantage of their stack of M.2 drives from previous builds, they will appreciate the comprehensive storage options available with ASUS B860 motherboards.
