The ASRock Z890 Taichi is the objective winner of this comparison, securing victory in ten out of thirteen evaluated specifications. Its most significant technical advantage over the alternative is a 200% improvement in USB Type-C connectivity. While the ASRock B760M PG Lightning manages to outperform the Z890 Taichi in two specific areas, the latter provides a substantially more robust feature set across the majority of the measured hardware categories.

Users who prioritize high-speed peripheral connectivity and advanced interface options should choose the ASRock Z890 Taichi for their build. Conversely, the ASRock B760M PG Lightning is the better selection for those who specifically require additional PCIe x1 slots, as it offers a 100% advantage in that category. Selecting between these two motherboards depends entirely on whether your workflow demands superior USB Type-C integration or a higher density of PCIe x1 expansion ports.
