Intel should have skipped Comet Lake entirely and launch Rocket Lake (Tiger Lake on 14nm) on Z490 platform.

Totally agree. Intel engineers probably feel the same way, lol But even if not buying CML, we can still watch the super-beefed VRM and other cool trends as they appear on the mobos.

I'm watching Asus ROG Strix Z490-A Gaming, it sounds-like a brand new 2-dimm board from Asus maybe around the $349 price point, then that would allow the Apex XII (other ROG 2-dimm board) the ability to rise to the top of the product stack. (wishful thinking on my part) lol

So yea watching ROG Apex 12 and EVGA Z490 Dark - just to see what EVGA comes up with. :)

I'm not buying this platform either - probably be good 'til Alder Lake next year.

Buuut, I do have a Seasonic TX-700 fanless titanium shipping from Newegg tomorrow, oh yea. Been wanting the PSU since last Computex June 2019. "Been a long time awaitin' " breaks into a blues song. :D
