There will also be workstation, business, and embedded chipsets comprising the 600-series. Kudos to @9550pro, a prominent leaker, for spotting Intel's Chipset Device Software Version 10.1.18836.8283.

But that choice could reportedly be taken away when the 700-series chipset boards launch alongside 13th-gen Raptor Lake desktop CPUs; Intel wants them to support only DDR5 memory.

Prominent leaker HXL found a list of 600 series device IDs hidden within Intel's Chipset Device Software Version 10.1.18836.8283, helping to paint a picture of what to expect later this year.

Intel also seems to have some workstation chipsets in the pipeline, with W685 and W680 chipsets mentioned in the driver. A mysterious R690E is also listed – but it is hard to extrapolate what ...

Inside of the new Intel Chipset driver "10.1.18836.8283" you'll find a list of Intel's upcoming 600-series motherboards, which includes the X699 chipset for HEDT -- and the Z690 chipset for the ...

Given Intel's progression with its chipsets, Alder Lake should bring 600 Series motherboards to fruition, which would be compatible with the follow-up Raptor Lake.

The highlighted Platform Controller Hubs (PCHs), with 7AB0, 7ACB, 7A30, and 7A4B device IDs, are probably Intel's 600-series chipsets for desktops and laptops.

AMD's new 600-series chipsets will launch later this year, ready to handle the world of Zen 4 processors -- but just as excitingly -- DDR5 and PCIe 5.0 technology.

Thankfully, when you make the switch, it looks like your new 600-series board will be compatible with 13th gen Intel CPUs too, according to documentation published by the company on SATA-IO.
