Looking back at the Intel Z390 platform launch in October 2018, we followed the playbook of the X470 Taichi from earlier that year by debuting two flagship motherboards: the standard Z390 Taichi and the Z390 Taichi Ultimate with 10GbE networking.
Our users made their preferences clear through their choices. The core Taichi audience wanted a solid, well-rounded flagship experience, while top-tier features like 10GbE served a user group with more specific needs: content creators. So the "Ultimate" name came to a close with this generation, and 10GbE lived on in our Creator series, built specifically for creators.
Listening to our users' choices is where every next-generation flagship begins.
