News ASRock's new 'Pro X3D' motherboard named for the Ryzen CPUs it is designed for

[Admin]

ASRock introduced its first X3D-branded motherboard, identical to the Pro RS, except for the lack of Thunderbolt 4 support. The board features no apparent changes optimized for AMD X3D processors.

I only care about the 870E Apex Board by ASUS. Where is this?

And I only care about OREO doublestuffed cookies. ... maybe we are both in the wrong thread 🤔

They are really working hard to sell these chips. If AMD would spend half of the money they're spending for these promotions they might be able to produce a decent GPU.

That's an odd saying of I have no idea how to run a business

PRO ONLY MEANS MILK THE CONSUMER... It's likely tell the Motherboard has military grade hardware! lol

My asrock motherboard Have a fatal1ty mouse port with the fastest USB EVER MADE!
put my logitech Gayming mouse with poling rate of 1000hz make awfull sound "Supreme coil wine"

Shameful marketing and in Australia would draw the ire of the ACCC if they could not demonstrate it has additional capabilities for the X3D. They would probably have to change the boxes and wording to comply, or face large fines. This type of crap is all too common a way to hoodwink consumers.

So, no optimizations for X3D (I can't think what they would be anyway?). I'm just gonna grab a sharpie and write "Pro X3D" on my B550-F with a 5800X3D snuggled comfortably in the socket and call it square then. Probably double the Cinebench score after doing it.

The processes are still stuck on 4nm so 5090 is 750sq/mm and the 9070 GPUs are in the mid 300s. The high end will always buy Nvidia regardless of the value proposition so why chase it? There is serious demand so they would rather get twice as many SKUs made per wafer for the mid-tier market which has consumers that haven't already made up their mind.

That comment reminded me of a gamers nexus clip where steve asked the manufacturer what the letter at the end of the name was. They admitted that it meant nothing and was purely marketing spin meant to fool the consumer into thinking it was something it was not.

Netflix has a documentary on corporations. What they do to get your money.

Being liars is one of them.

It's not a saying and it's nothing of this sort.

People seeking the best GPU would buy it from AMD if AMD made the best GPU. The fact is that AMD knows that they cannot make the best GPU so if they don't even try.

We already know that is not true. AMD beat Nvidia during the 7970 and RX290X generations, but Nvidia fanbois still wouldn't buy the currently superior card. Those diminished sales reduced how much AMD could spend on future generations and allowed Nvidia to have more resources in development.

So by being a fanboi and not giving other vendors a shot even when they are better the market has created what we have today - Nvidia charging whatever they want.

AMD has completely given up because they could not beat Nvidia.

On the high-end, yeah, kinda.
It costs a lot of money to develop an 800 sq mm die. When a big chunk of the enthusiast market won't consider anything besides Nvidia it is a waste of money to develop halo products. The people that are interested in bang for buck are much more agnostic in regards to brand or manufacture. They just care about the frames per dollar. AMD can still win that battle.
