Intel is gearing up to release its Arrow Lake processors on October 24th, likely in conjunction with the official launch of the Z890 motherboards. On the other hand, AMD is set to introduce its new X870 and X870E motherboards on September 30th. Many of these products were showcased at Computex, and today an Australian retailer has listed several MSI motherboards, including the MSI Z890 Carbon WiFi and three X870/X870E models.

This motherboard falls into the mid-range category, but without an official spec sheet, details are limited to what can be deciphered from the images. It appears to offer a range of features such as USB 3.2, USB Type-C ports, BIOS Flash, Clear CMOS, and Smart Buttons. The board includes an 8-pin PCI-E connector and at least three M.2 slots. Pricing information is not yet available.
