Habitual leaker momomo_us has shared the complete lineup and key specifications for MSI’s opening volley of Z690 motherboards for 12th Gen Intel Core “Alder Lake” processors. There are 17 models in total, including premium offerings such as the MEG Z690 ACE (a MEG Z690 GODLIKE will presumably be released later). The list also includes five DDR4 models, none of which offer support for next-generation DDR5 memory.

MSI has also shared some teaser images of its Z690 motherboards via Twitter. Two of these predictably include the company’s usual dragon motif.
