X870 boards became available a few days ago and all I can think is "meh". X670E boards are clearly the better buy and cheaper. 7000 is far more appealing than 9000. The ever increasing prices and lessening performance uplifts with each generation are starting to feel eerily familiar. It's almost like we're on the verge of the post-Conroe era all over again. The past ~7 years have been a competitive landscape but I fear that we are returning to another innovation crawl; especially should Intel's upcoming CPUs also be datacentre-focused with a mediocre performance increase for consumers and gamers.
