Intel and AMD live and die by their OEM sales for desktop and server chips with HEDT and consumer retail products mere icing on the cake.Yeah, Shortly after the Core2 was probably the point Intel started to turn away from the enthusiast end. The funny thing is it was enthusiasts that put Intel back on the map.
Not going to lie... I'm ready! my wallet however might not be.
Must say, is tempting even the 8 core 2900X (or what ever will be called).
The motherboards are better compared to AM4 and the platform is superb, while allows for great expansion.
Quad channel of course as it gives around 12-14% better perf compared to dual channel.
Hopefully I can just buy the chip and wack it in my taichi. I already have 64gb 3466 and the rest of the system so with a bit of luck the taichi is up to the job. I can then resell the 1950x

wondering if Asus will launch an amended Zenith version ?
X399M is very solid. I will make an 8Pack bundle with this shortly. Been testing it a lot recently.I was looking for quad channel ram tonight. I do not need much 16GB will do the job, and i wonder if the F4-3400C16 (4x4) will be another lucky chip like the F4-3600C16 (2x8) did work at rated speed (3600MhzC15) as did with the 1800X. If not overclock to 3600-4000Mhz.
I am very tempted to move and buy the X399M Taichi as not needing a full board.

The Zenith cooling kit is pathetic. A testament to the engineering that went into it originally, or a major cheap out by Asus?

Zenith ^^^ IR 3555 60A
Aorus Gaming 7 IR 3556 50A

in theory , 80a extra over Gaming 7 so could hold , thus the extra cooling - and one of those cases - higher numbers arent everything
Not sure if new Extreme uses 60a or 50a IR units
Zenith might just run hotter due to having less chips to spread the load but the chips should handle whats required . seems now theres the witch hunt for VRM temps , 90% of the time using software =/
****seems it might use IR as zenith, which would mean handling 120 more amps..
IDK why someone could buy the Zenith over better boards right now
