I agree. Especially with all these custom 3d part prints, I have great ideas
And that can clear the CMOS from a button at the back, so no hassle since going to do a custom watercooling for it later this year.
If you add VAT to those prices then they are parity with the Intel equivalent - so much for less complex motherboards being cheaper then!

Just a minor thing, but the Intel chips shouldn't be called an apu. That's an amd marketing term.
Unclear. Rumours suggest that the 8 cores will be releasing first, but it seems likely that there will be a launch window and it might be a few weeks to roll the whole lot out. Intel kinda did that with Kabylake was a couple weeks later before the unlocked i3 hit the shelves.
This is all guess work though. Hopefully we'll get all the answers after next week.
my understanding is that, it will be 8 and 6 cores on launch day, and 4 cores to be released later on.
nothing official though.
It may be for features and OC'ing, but that USB 3.0 header placement is a real PITA... of course if you don't use it then no problem, but they should always be on the right edge ideally. Having at the bottom invariably causes issues with the big connectors and stiff cables. Never figured why they don't have alternatives for these connectors... EVGA do one (or certainly used to) but it's not widely available.
here is first look at MSI Titanium some ppl have been drooling about, priced at 299$, with cool stats and feature, half of wich are patent pending xD, like the M.2 shield, and some novelty like VR boost 
" boost your VR exprience and reduce latency 
"
anyway other MSI mobo on there too.
enjoy!

I'm trying to figure out how m2 shield works... a thermal pad to conduct heat, but to what looks like a heat shield... meaning here, conduct your heat through the pad right to a heat insulator, so where is it dissipating the heat?
I see old coolers like the Arctic Freezer 13 are claiming AM4 compatibility. But with the way the plastic tabs on the AM4 socket are, the cooler would point up at the top of the case rather than out the back, wouldn't it?
