Gigabyte Z890 Aorus Elite Duo X @ TechPowerUp
Storage has always been a bottleneck for motherboards and while NVME SSDs are still slow by comparison they are no longer a limiting factor when it comes to overall system performance. CPU Boost has removed the overclocking headroom that hardware enthusiasts strived for leaving DRAM as the sole holdout in the quest for speed.
The Gigabyte Z890 Aorus Elite Duo X impresses with CQDIMM support for ultra-high capacity DDR5 memory, reaching speeds of up to DDR5-8000 MT/s. With PCIe Gen 5 and Wi-Fi 7, this motherboard delivers solid performance for under $300, making it a standout choice for Intel enthusiasts seeking value and innovation.
CQDIMM, or Clocked Quad Rank memory is a viable way to add more memory to a single DIMM allowing desktop systems to scale available system memory by double. The Aorus Elite Duo X is one of the first motherboards to support Quad Rank memory, and yet looks like every other motherboard on the market.
