The ASUS PRIME series motherboards are meticulously engineered to harness the full capabilities of the latest Intel Core Ultra Processors (Series 2). Featuring a robust power design, advanced cooling solutions, and intelligent tuning options, the PRIME B860M-A WIFI motherboard offers both users and PC enthusiasts a host of performance enhancements via intuitive software and firmware features. Designed to be Advanced AI PC-ready, it delivers the power and connectivity essential for demanding AI-driven tasks.

Robust power design

Stable and efficient power delivery is key to unlocking maximum performance from high-core-count Intel processors. The PRIME B860M-A WIFI is equipped to meet these demands, boasting a power stage configuration of 7(80A) + 1(80A) + 1(80A) + 1(80A). Each stage integrates high-side and low-side MOSFETs with drivers in packages rated for up to 80 amps, ensuring optimal power delivery, efficiency, stability, and performance—both now and for future Intel CPU generations.

AEMP III for Ultimate DDR5 Performance

ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile III (AEMP III) is an advanced firmware feature designed to extract exceptional performance from next-generation CUDIMM memory. Utilising a two-phase tuning process—first optimising the clock driver, followed by the memory frequency—AEMP III achieves a fine balance between performance and stability, even at extreme DDR5 speeds of 7600 MT/s and above.

Two M.2 slots (up to 128Gbps)

The PRIME B860M-A WIFI includes two M.2 slots: one supporting up to 128Gbps via PCIe 5.0, and the other offering speeds up to 64Gbps through PCIe 4.0. This allows for faster operating system boot times and quicker application loading when used with high-speed NVMe drives.

WiFi 6E Connectivity

Integrated WiFi 6E technology utilises the newly opened 6 GHz frequency band, tripling the available bandwidth compared to previous generations. The result is ultra-fast wireless networking with enhanced capacity and improved performance, particularly in densely populated wireless environments.

PCIe 5.0 Expansion slot

With support for PCIe 5.0, the latest generation of processors enables double the data transfer rate of PCIe 4.0, improved signal integrity, and backwards compatibility with previous PCIe standards via CEM connectors—delivering future-proof performance for next-gen GPUs and expansion cards.

USB 20Gbps port

A comprehensive selection of USB ports caters to high-end builds packed with peripherals, including a rear USB Type-C port capable of transfer speeds up to 20Gbps—ideal for ultra-fast data exchange and modern device connectivity.
