Some Gigabyte Z690 Motherboard Pricing Leaked by Newegg
Newegg has been on a roll this week when it comes to leaking pricing of upcoming motherboards and this time they've managed to out no less than seven upcoming models from Gigabyte. Unfortunately we didn't get a first hand view of the leaks, so we have to make do with what little information is available for now.
The pricing of the seven leaked boards ranges from US$199.99 to US$469.99, which is less painful than what we've seen so far from other brands. The base model is the Gigabyte Z690 UD DDR4, which even at US$199.99 is almost $50 more than the current Z590 UD board from the same retailer. Moving up a step, we have the Z690 Gaming X DDR4 at US$229.99, followed by the Z690 Aorus Elite AX DDR4 at US$269.99 and the Z690 Aero G DDR4 at US$289.99.The first DDR5 model leaked by Newegg is the Z690 Aorus Pro, which comes in at $329.99, followed by the high-end, but not quite flagship Z690 Aorus Master at US$469.99. The last board, which is another DDR4 board, is the Z690I Aorus Ultra, which is a Mini-ITX board. At least Gigabyte's base model looks more attractive than MSI's and ASRock's base models, which also appear to cost more, but beyond that, we're going to have to wait for official details later today, to have a closer look at the various boards.

Waiting to see how stupid priced the z690 apex is :cool:
z590 is wow stupid 200.us over z490
And unfortunately AMD motherboard pricing will be similar considering that the AMD platform in not a cheap alternative anymore, but also a high performance platform.
Keep in mind this is Z690. The comparable is X570 on AMD side. I'm sure we'll have a 660 and 610 as well for the lower end, but these prices are not really that much higher than Z590.
As such, a UD3 was a mid-range board and a UD6/7 was the flagship. Anything below a UD5 wasn't really all that premium.
They also had far fewer SKUs back then than today.
