AORUS has unveiled its new flagship X299G motherboards for the next-generation Core X HEDT CPU lineup that is coming this fall. The new motherboards are expected to launch a bit earlier than the new Core X series around August or September but will be fully capable to support the enhanced Intel HEDT CPUs.

AORUS Unveils X299G Motherboard Lineup With X299G AORUS Xtreme Waterforce, X299G AORUS Master & X299G Designare-10G - Built For Next Generation Intel Core X CPUs

Update: Gigabyte contacted us to confirm that the X299G naming scheme will be the final naming scheme for the upcoming motherboards and the X499 logos and naming was a placeholder since Intel updated board partners very recently. The 'G' at the end is to differentiate the lineup from the existing X299 parts but will use the same chipset, so nothing significant has changed.

The motherboards were shown during a VIP tour of the AORUS booth at Computex 2019 where the company had displayed a range of their new products, including the new X570 motherboards that we rounded up a few days ago. There were three very interesting motherboards shown during the event which were labeled as X299G but it was easy to note that these were placeholder names that were taped on the real names themselves. Underneath the taped product name, we were able to set our sights at the X499 naming scheme and this was also confirmed by a label on one of the top VRM heatsinks on the new Designare-10G.
