This Fall, Intel will roll out a new line of LGA2066 HEDT processors. This line of CPUs was expected to be paired with the X499 chipset but over at Computex, motherboard maker Gigabyte said that Intel has decided to go for the X299G name instead. So far, this hasn't been officially confirmed by Intel yet, but Gigabyte told it to multiple hardware sites so it looks legit.
The Designare 10G has a sticker below the printed GIGABYTE logo that reads "X299G Designare 10G." The purported X299G Aorus Master has another interesting detail: right above the "Aorus Master" print, there's a tiny sticker marked "X299G," positioned as if it's covering up a printed marking on the PCB itself.
