Intel LGA 1954 Motherboards
LGA 1954 is the socket expected to carry Intel’s next-generation Nova Lake processors, with 900-series chipsets such as Z990 and B960. Industry reports point to a launch window from late 2026 into early 2027. This page goes live with boards and UK prices the day stock lands. Until then, the current Intel LGA 1851 boards are what we fit and sell today.
Intel LGA 1954: what we know so far
LGA 1954 is the socket reported for Intel’s Nova Lake desktop generation, alongside a 900-series chipset family led by Z990 for enthusiasts and B960 for mainstream builds. Platform leaks describe up to 48 PCIe lanes and native support for very fast DDR5, with a launch window running from late 2026 into early 2027.
Three practical truths while we wait. First, no current Intel CPU will move to LGA 1954, so nothing you buy today carries over except memory, storage and the power supply. Second, if you need an Intel build now, the LGA 1851 boards we stock are the platform to buy, and they are not going anywhere. Third, board prices at a socket launch start high and settle within a quarter; early adopters pay the premium.
This page lists every LGA 1954 board we range, with UK prices, from the day boards go on sale. Until then it tracks the credible reporting, and nothing else.
