USB Power Delivery
With the design of USB Power Delivery(PD) Profile 4 and goes up to 20V and 3A (60W) specific. It is a specification for handling higher power and allows a range of devices to fast charge over a USB connection.
DisplayPort™ Alternate Mode
Alternate mode is the feature in USB Type-C® allowing for standard USB Type-C® connectors to carry both USB signal and non USB data like video signal.
Wait No More
Brings a speed network experience to life
Intel® 2.5 GbE network connectivity supports speeds up to 2.5 times faster than Gigabit Ethernet. It gives an immediate boost to overall network performance and data transfer speeds.
WIFI 6, Ideal for All Your Online Activities
Onboard WIFI 6 technology supports 802.11ax with Bluetooth module technology, enables gigabit wireless performance, fewer dropped connections, and reduces congestion in heavy bandwidth usage scenarios. Moreover, providing better WIFI signal strength of the antenna design compared to a traditional antenna.
SuperSpeed USB 20Gbps
No Hassle Connection.
To feature the USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 connectivity design, which is double performance than the current USB 3.2 Gen 2. It works up to 20Gbps ultra-fast data transfer while connecting to USB 3.2 compliant peripherals. You can enjoy the ultimate connection flexibility to access and store massive amounts of data rapidly.
Faster Instant Reaction Speed
You can never have enough memory bandwidth, and DDR5 helps meet this insatiable need for speed. Whether you are editing hundreds of audio samples, handling 4K footage, or multitasking workloads, it boosts system performance and offers you a smooth experience.
DDR5 Bandwidth
DDR5 delivers at least 1.5X more bandwidth than the prior generation. This will facilitate the bandwidth needed for some applications, such as AI training and content creation.
Compress and share your artwork more effectively
* 7-ZIP Benchmark tests are conducted using specific computer system and reflect the approximate performance.
Single 32GB Support
Bring your tasks without lag.
A single memory slot of the Z690 motherboard can support up to 32GB. With populated 2 DIMMs per channel on GIGABYTE Z690 motherboards, the maximum memory capacity support is 128GB. You can experience faster performance and instant access without any lag.
