[Admin]

AMD's budget-friendly B850 and B840 chipset motherboards will seemingly arrive in 2025, limiting AMD's September launch to its higher-end X-series chipsets.

Delay or Greed performance?

The ever worsening segmentation that both Intel and AMD are very guilty of. This is highly annoying.

Maybe they will come out with the x3d at the same time?

X670 & E variant did not release same month as B650 series did back in 22'. Don't see how this is a problem.

People want cheap boards the niche for Hyper bloated boards is very tiny...
I'm looking 3 z690 new at 100us at ebay right now =D

Then they can use B650 which is what they would likely do anyway on a budget.

Even some occasional sales on X670 boards lately that will certainly be a first choice over a new chipset with the only major improvement being guaranteed USB 4 and PCIe 5.0.

I definitely see that happening. AMD is going to delay the 9000-X3D chips a bit more - probably even into next year. I'm okay with that if it addresses some recent vulnerabilities discovered for AMD chips.

My desired pairing is 9800X3D + X870 board. I'm hoping X870 will have been proven to be rock-solid with its release late Sept, but if not, maybe new AGESA fixes will be in by Jan/Feb 2025.

That sounds like a worthwhile upgrade. Hopefully the improvements are even more pronounced when paired with that big cache.
