Will X570 prices drop any-time soon?

hi there,

I just wondered anyone knows if X570 boards will see a price-drop any-time soon? I wondered because X570 isnt the highest desktop core count any-more. So thought maybe the price might come down a little? isnt B550 supposed to be out soon? I guess that wont really affect X570 prices although.

many thanks,

okay, thanks guys for your replies. I guess its looking like there wont be any discounts soon. I was looking at a Gigabyte X570 AORUS Pro - but £260 seems steep for mid-range board to me (MBs never seemed as expensive as now). I was hoping to see it for around £200. Maybe hope it comes on today only or something - even £20/30 would help

Well I wanted to check; normally when I buy things, a few days/weeks later it comes down in price. I brought an 3900x before xmas and now its cheaper. If I could save even £20-30 on the MB it would kind-of help towards the extra I paid for the 3900x.

Just noticed that the Elite has a 12% discount.. its really tempting!

I was really was after the pro - as you said, the Elite doesnt have the extra x8 - not its ultra useful now but I figured its good to have for any future plans (it will be annoying to need it later and not have it for the sake of £50 or so). I doubt ill be changing cpu/mb for awhile.

atm im using a 3900x in a X370 K5 - which isnt ideal! Ill have think over the weekend if its worth the extra, as I know the elite is a great board.
