Gigabyte Z690 AORUS Master & Elite Motherboards Listed for Sale
The Gigabyte Z690 AORUS MASTER and Gigabyte Z690 AORUS ELITE AX motherboards have recently been listed for sale at an Australian retailer. The LGA1700 motherboards will support Intel's upcoming Alder Lake 12th Generation Core series processors which are expected to launch in November. The motherboards were listed for 768.90 AUD and 438.90 AUD which equates to 572 USD and 327 USD respectively. These prices are approximately 10% more than their equivalent Z590 versions which should provide a good indication of general pricing for all upcoming Z690 motherboards.
The listings state that the Gigabyte Z690 AORUS MASTER will feature DDR4 memory compatibility which may be a mistake as manufacturers have announced that some high-end boards will be offered with DDR5 support. The motherboards will likely be some of the first consumer boards to support PCIe 5.0 which will enable faster storage with supported drives. These motherboards should be available to purchase in the coming months when Intel officially launches their 12th Gen Core series processors and Z690 chipset.

I checked the prices for the Z590 AORUS MASTER and Z590 AORUS ELITE AX from Umart when not on sale and arrived at 699 AUD and 399 AUD which gave me the 10% figure.

Dual Channel Non-ECC Unbuffered DDR4, 4 DIMMs
There's a shortage of a lot of things and the board makers changed their plans for DDR5, as a lot more SKUs were supposed to get DDR5 initially, but plans changed due to the current situation in the world. Other parts had to be changed around as well and some SKUs were cancelled/postponed.
