This cpu will come out soon. You can see the specs for the Intel Core Ultra 7 265 here. Lots of people are already listing B860 boards on PC Partpicker, so you might want to check that site too. The ASUS TUF GAMING B860-PLUS WIFI motherboard is a great choice for gamers with high-end processors like the Intel Core Ultra Series 2 and fast PCIe 5.0 speeds plus WiFi 7 support.

* Motherboard: Asus TUF GAMING B860-PLUS WIFI for LGA1851 CPUs at $179.99
