As well as X699 HEDT listed.
Taken from Videocardz … Intel Chipset driver “10.1.18836.8283” lists a full range of 600-series motherboards. This includes the Z690 high-end chipset for the flagship Alder Lake-S series, the W680 chipset supposedly for Alder Lake Xeons, and X699 HEDT, which implies a higher core count CPUs are also coming.
The full lineup that has leaked through the driver features:
- X699 (HEDT Enthusiast)
- Z690 (Mainstream Enthusiast)
- W685 (Workstation Enthusiast)
- W680 (Workstation Mainstream)
- Q670 (Business / Enterprise)
- Q670E (Business / Enterprise Laptop)
- R680E (R-Embedded Laptop)
- H670 (Mainstream Budget)
- B660 (Mainstream Budget)
- H610 (Mainstream Entry)
- H610E (Mainstream Entry Laptop)
While it is not quite clear what X699 stands for, one would assume that this might actually be Sapphire Rapids-X, although we have already seen this codename associated with W790 series. There might, however, be two series. One being for gamers and the other for workstations, similarly to AMD Threadripper and Threadripper PRO series. However, this is just speculation at this point.
We also see a large list of mid-range series such as H670, B660 and their business variants such as Q670. Those motherboards offer limited functionality or lack certain features that may not be always be needed or useful, such as high-speed networking, multiple PCIe slots, or overclocking capabilities.
