If it is real, could possibly be auto currency conversion making it that price? For eg. on that website, they may have changed the currency to CAD (which also uses $ symbol for currency) before taking the screenshot with converted values.

Googling 799 USD to CAD right now shows $1,102.58 🤔

When the Asian mobo makers found out that they could charge $1000 to some people for a AM5 mobo, they knew they had a cash cow so they are very unlikely to stop the exploitation.

The cheapest W790 with no DRAM OC support is about $670, cheapest with DRAM OC is about $880 and Asus is $900 (these are all quad channel DRAM models). So I can't imagine the pricing mentioned in the article being accurate USD retail prices. I wouldn't be surprised if they cost $800-900 though.
