EVGA X570 DARK Motherboard Formally Launched

[Tom Sunday]

This just isn't worth $700 bucks...

The new Z690 MB are breaking out in a few weeks time. And with a lot more and new tech enhancements. $700 is absurd at this point in time and if I had the cash, I would want all the MB cards on the table for true comparing show and tell.

At this price, it ought to make the coffee. All the Java in the world:

is this just for XOC? if so why audio, wifi/bt, etc. Do you need those things for XOC? If it isn't only for XOC, why bother releasing it, AM4 is dead end.

How is AM4 dead end, AM4 cpus still being manufactured and sold in large quantities

Because AM5 CPU will appear...somewhere in late 2022
Nevermind the IPC and whatnot, AMD biggest enemy is the lack of foundries, what's the point of having a fast CPU if it can only reach a few people ?

I think they are warming up for AM5 .
And the price will definitely be up.

not so sure it ends there, they have to sell these, they are a business. Also, at no point did i assert either implicitly or explicitly that this had no value to others. What i did question was the marketability, timing and strange feature set of an exclusively XOC board.

You did and you still do in your second comment : '' not so sure it ends there, they have to sell these, they are a business '' . This implicitly suggests you are confident there will be no customers to buy these .

Point being just because the platform is coming at the end of its life it doesn't mean these niche products have no future , XOC community loves to play with old platforms .

Waiting for the FTW3 version to launch. It has been confirmed.

Yeah I'm waiting for this also - where did you see it confirmed?

Who in the right mind would buy 2 at that price

Who in the right mind would buy 2 at that price

I mean there are people who buy one or more 3090's for $2K+ each (I'm not one of them, I'm not that crazy), compared to that this is nothing.

only time will tell, we won't have access to those sales figures, but this is not only a niche market, but a niche upon an EOL, assume what you want about the statement, someone always buys this stuff, but that doesn't mean it makes sense, which is the larger point here, not that "no customers" exist, or "because i think so, that means no one wants it", that's just not what im saying here. Timing matters, tech has a lifespan, if your point about XOC users is valid, then why are there no more X58 Darks being released? GYHOOYA.
