Biostar first to list Intel 700-series motherboards with EEC

Intel is still a few months away from releasing the successor to its current-gen Alder Lake CPUs, but things seem to be moving swiftly towards Raptor Lake and the Z790 chipset. That's based on several new EEC entries submitted by Biostar, which show multiple 700-series motherboards.

As per the EEC listings shared by @harukaze5719, we can see a total of three Z790 motherboards, namely the Biostar Z790 Valkyrie, Z790 Racing GTA, and Z790-A Silver. In addition, there are also nine B760 motherboards listed, including the B760GTQ, B760M-Silver, B760GTN, B760T-Silver, B760MX5-E PRO, B760MX-PRO, B760MX-C, B760MX-E, B760MH. No H770 and H710 motherboards were included in the listing, but we can also see numerous other previous generations motherboards from the 500-series, 300-series, a B250 motherboard, and H81 and H61 boards.

These new Z790 Valkyrie series motherboards would succeed the existing Z690 models. As for the Silver models, the 600-series didn't feature any model with such a name, but the 500-series did. Biostar has already commented on this story to VideoCardz, stating that the 700-series boards are still in the planning stage and added that the listing isn't legit. Whether or not that is actually the case however, remains to be see.

Intel 700-series motherboards and Raptor Lake CPUs are expected to release later this year.
