ftfyAsus wants some of that Asus cash.
Guess it is time to resurrect Cyrix.
>When newfags write news articles and have no idea of what is 'hot' or high power use for a chipset. Back in the days there were much more power hogging chipsets in the wild. And they had far better passive cooling than all these rice RGB POS boards have today.For one, the AMD X570 chipset is a big and hot (~15W TDP) piece of silicon AMD designed in-house
Man. if these prices are true, I may need to rethink my upgrade strategy...
This is most likely the last of the AM4 socket motherboards, so maybe a B450 mobo & 6C or 8C Zen 2 to hold me over until 2nd gen of AM5 mobos...?
That doesn't seem terrible considering the higher end VRM design and choice of MOSFETs, the X570 cost, and the material, design and layout requirements of PCIe 4.0.$379.99 ROG Crosshair VIII Hero Wi-Fi
I don't think you necessarily need a $600 motherboard. Those fancy Asus Crosshair Godlike Ultimate Hibachi XXXVIII ones have always been expensive. I suspect these X570 boards will be more expensive than previous generations, but I also suspect that there will be reasonably priced options. There pretty much has to be - the vast majority of users, even among enthusiasts such as [H] readers, isn't going to spend $600 on a motherboard.
They say that the least expensive X570 board will be priced around $160, which seems perfectly reasonable for the enthusiast platform, to me. Would you prefer that they made it cheap and poorly made, so it doesn't overclock well?
Well Asrock has X570 Aqua around 1000$
People pay these prices for an Intel board and it doesn't rate a thread so I'm unclear why it would when it's AMD. Just my .02
They're probably expecting fewer people to upgrade to x570, given x470 and b450 were pretty decent platforms already and are forward compatible. Smaller run - > higher price.I'm just saying that there is a pretty big jump in price. The Crosshair VII Hero Wifi is $274.99 currently while the Crosshair VIII Hero Wifi is expected to be $379.99. IMO the $100+ price increase is a pretty big jump.

Amd said am4 is only till 2020 and we are nearly starting q3 19...Is it confirmed that Zen3 will have a new socket?
Amd said am4 is only till 2020 and we are nearly starting q3 19...
So yes almost undoubtedly. Maybe will see am4 apu on 7nm and that's it.

This is because of the pci express gen4 implementation. Vendors for achieving had to overcome hardware level obstacles like better quality PCB.
AMD will do AM4 until DDR5. There is no reason they won't. DDR5 is a way's out it looks like. AMD might stop CPU's at this point, but I don't think so. Expect a Zen2+ on AM4.Amd said am4 is only till 2020 and we are nearly starting q3 19...

DDR5 is next year. So 2020...I'm not so sure, they got PCIe 4.0 on the same socket, I think they will wait until DDR5 to change the socket

I mean, it could be worse...Nvidia jumped the price of their high end "Ti" card by $500 (71% increase). In comparison, $75-100 isn't that bad.
DDR5 will be in severs first for at least 6 months to a year before it comes to consumers. If DDR5 is 2020 for severs then we won’t see it in the mainstream PC space till 2021. The workstation HEDT space might see it shortly after the server space.I would just not want to pay the initial DDR 5 tax when released, rather wait for the tech to mature, improve and prices to drop. For me it looks like 3 years+ if I am still into this thing. So the next motherboard should take me there, hell even my current one may if I get cost conscious.

Nobody said you had to buy on day one. The cheaper boards will appear within a few months, or you can just go without your PCIe 4 south-bridge.
Last time I checked, Gigabyte had already enabled PCIe m4 support on it's mid and high-end motherboards.
