Customs shipping records have revealed the first motherboards designed for Intel Core Ultra 4000S Nova Lake S desktop processors. Manifest data from NBD shows 1 W980 board and 2 Z970 boards built around the upcoming FCLGA1954 socket. The early filings indicate that board partners are already assembling hardware for validation testing ahead of launch.
The NBD customs database captured 5 separate shipping entries sharing identical importer and exporter information. The registered names confirm the W980 WS, the Z970 LiveMixer WiFi, and the Z970 PRO A WiFi. Both the LiveMixer and PRO A names match product lines produced by ASRock on previous socket architectures, confirming the manufacturer behind these early models.
Physical units entering shipping channels indicate that motherboard vendors have moved past digital schematics and into early factory trial builds for the Nova Lake S platform.
