Ain't it just!! I'd be interested to know if there's any gain in both men OC and core OC from 690 to 790, I'd just grab a z690 dark if there isn't.

Honestly a new board will 100% be waste. Unless you are LN2 and going for world records of course then there might be a little bit there but honestly nothing worth going from a Z690 to Z790.

In terms of cpu ocing, YES. In terms of memory ocing, 2 dimm boards will all be the same. 4 dimm boards, dunno. If you are triying to hit 7k+ on memory, i guess z790 would be the better bet, but i personally wouldnt risk a 4dimmer and go for a 2 dimm, either z690 or z790

I'll defo be getting a 2 dimm board but at present not sure if any of the decent ones will be available at launch and prices are off putting to say the least on the mid range tier as is. Suppose I just need to wait a little while longer to get some more info.

Apex will be out sooner than later. No channel issues so far. I'd sit tight.

Because they know that like the nVidia crew, the Intel fans will lap them up regardless.

Exactly that. :)

Also, in case anyone hasn't noticed, company A launches a prodct or makes an announcement about a product.

Company B sees that and makes their own announcement about a product to try and steal some thunder and say hey don't forget about us.

It happens all the time, everytime. And they all do it. :D

Announcements are fine.
But pre orders like this are out of the ordinary.

Yes it is a bit unusual, but after the 'AMD being in the rear view mirror comment', followed by an admittance that market share would continue to be lost until 2025, something out of the ordinary was needed i guess.
