How much does it cost to buy one of these awards? Because it looks like Asus spent a truck full to try and make people forget about the Maximus Hero recall going on. There were 5 gaming awards, and Asus won 4 of them including for a gaming chair, and for a $2000 motherboard with an EKWB water block slapped on it. Among other awards they won outside of gaming was an award in the headphone category for some ear buds. When it comes to industry leading ear buds producers, Asus is definitely one of the companies that most people think of. Also, congrats to Intel for snatching one the Best of Awards for a making a USB C cable. What's that? Oh, sorry, Thunderbolt 4 cable. How is a souped up USB C cable one of the 5 most innovative products of the year?

The performance of the integrated iGPUs scales extremely well with size and speed of shared RAM.
So, with RDNA architecture and DDR5 support, the 6000 series APUs are going to have some great potential.
AMD's weak spot has been its video encoders and decoders - a point where Intel iGPUs have been traditionally excelling at.
The video editing community would embrace the Ryzen6000 if it brings a video engine of similar prowess as those QSV codes found in modern Intel's iGPUs.

A motherboard with a waterblock is hardly "mainstream" ...... It's a specialty device for competitive overclocking

That must mean Asus 4 of 5 people on the CES committee.

It's not a mainstream board, but it also would never be used for competitive overclocking. Extreme overclocking boards are stripped down to the bare minimum of features including things like only 2 DIMM slots in an effort to maximize stability. Water blocks are never used to cool anything.
$2000 is an absolutely crazy absurd price for any consumer targeted motherboard. I used Intel HEDT platforms for years, and $4-500 was about the top end. People are complaining about GPU prices, motherboard prices are where the real rip offs are occurring. High end mainstream boards are all in the $500-1000 range now with ridiculous boards like this Asus reaching $2000. Those aren't scalper prices, those are the actual prices, and you can't make any money back mining with a motherboard like you can with a GPU to recoup some/all your costs.
