Were moving closer to the launch of Intels 12th generation Alder Lake processors, and with that will come new chipsets including Z690 which has already been leaked by multiple sources. As we approach Alder Lakes arrival, we must pay homage to whats actually available on the current market for users to buy. Right now, we have Intels Rocket Lake (11th gen) and its Comet Lake (10th gen) processors, and all the associated chipsets such as Z590 and B560. This includes many different LGA1200 motherboard options to select from at many different price points, with multiple levels of features and controller choices on offer. The Z690 models may be on the horizon, but we focus on the now as its time to make our picks for October 2021 in our latest Intel motherboard buyers guide.
