Originally announced by Realtek at this year’s Computex, ASRock’s upcoming Z390 motherboards, the Phantom Gaming 9 and Phantom Gaming 6, will be two of the first products to feature the new RTL8125 controller, which enables a 2.5x improvement in Ethernet bandwidth. ASRock says its new software package will allow users to intelligently shape traffic: "accelerate critical gaming network traffic ahead of other data to provide smoother, stutter-free game performance and give gamers the ultimate competitive edge."
ASRock's new offerings, currently listed as supporting Intel's 8th Generation CPUs, include the flagship Z390 Phantom Gaming 9 with 2.5G LAN with a pairing of dual Intel-based NICs to offer a total of three LAN ports on the rear panel. Along with this is 2T2R Wave 2 802.11ac Wi-Fi with support for up to 1.73 Gbps of bandwidth. Also included in the new line up is the Z390 Phantom Gaming 6 which features a cut down feature set to the Phantom Gaming 9, but still retaining a lot of the gaming-focused features, such as 2.5G+2x1G.
