According to reports, the Gigabyte AORUS Z790 Master X is said to be ready for Intel's 14th Gen Core.

Gigabyte has reportedly asked reviewers to refrain from revealing too much information about their newly refreshed motherboards. TPU's Darksaber was invited to examine "next generation motherboards" in late August, but representatives were cautious not to disclose anything too obvious or specific about Intel's frequently leaked Raptor Lake Refresh/14th Gen Core CPU lineup. Fast forward to recent events, VideoCardz believes that Gigabyte had prepared a range of new motherboard products to showcase alongside Team Blue's September Innovation event. Many expected the unveiling of Raptor Lake Refresh to a significant extent, but instead, an official announcement was limited to a 12-second livestreamed segment.

The Taiwanese computer hardware manufacturer/distributor has allegedly taken steps to avoid breaking embargoes set by their partners. VideoCardz stated, "As a result, Gigabyte had to request reviewers to conceal any details about the new CPU series on the packaging and motherboards they had initially received." Their report includes various pieces of evidence such as screenshots and video captures, with a focus on a slightly modified AORUS Z790 Master X motherboard, which appears to feature "Core 14th gen processors" branding.
