ASUS' Z590 motherboard lineup leaks - Ready for Rocket Lake!

Is it just me that is completely not interested in anything Intel related these days? Just feels like they are trying everything they can to be like "Hey! We're still here" when AMD has literally just dominated them out of their own space.

I'm quite interested, If they can come out with something that beats AMD in gaming then AMD will have to up their game :)
 
I don't see why anyone (unless the filthy rich :)) would put down 500+ $ on a motherboard that will only support one generation of CPU's, where the maximum core count will be 8 cores :confused: Or am I missing something? Buy the cheapest board with a good DRM, set the CPU to 5 GHz all core an forget it.

Maybe because Core count still doesnt improve gaming experience as much as single core. With the exception of a few games. I have a 7700k with a mobo I paid £650 for. Its overclocked high enough that it still competes with the best processors available today. So the board does matter, if you dont win silicon lottery on the CPU.
 
It will be interesting to see if this gives any improvements with the exception of PCI-e4. A portion of the next gen processors are going to be refreshes while the top SKU's are going to be rocket lake.
