"A motherboard for every taste "
If you like DDR5 that is....

DDR4 ? Here's some basic boards with no premium features and crap VRM.

Ok, the bottom line is that I will use i9-12900K + DDR5, but some people say like this:
AMD's side: oh intel's 12th gen is an experimental CPU and it won't work well in Win10 and gaming!
Intel's side: no it has a 'big.LITTLE Solution', so it'll distribute its calculation perfectly! So that's why it is better than RYZEN CPU!

Strange how people get so personal about a CPU makers isn't it?

Corporation is the new church. The concept of blind loyalty to an entity, brand, person or product is baffling to me.

Actually going to be interesting to see these boards pricing with the different memory standards and levels of performance.
Also real world benches that show the performance differences between DDR5 and several different speed levels of DDR4 memory.
If the pricing on a complete Alder Lake platform greatly exceed that of its current AMD competitors then even with a decent performance increase the platform will see much lower sales.
Alder Lake is now being questioned as well whether it will work on older games as well without that game getting an update patch, another possible strike against the new CPU.
A lot of questions to be answered prior to many making the jump I expect.

For now, I'll continue to use my current 12 year old PC that supports 1080p, 8-bit video at 60Hz.
I will not be buying any new motherboard, video card or monitor that does not have thunderbolt 4.0 USB-C ports.
I will only be purchasing motherboards that support PCIe 5.0 and DDR5.
I have no interest in purchasing old or obsolete technology. I already own old, obsolete technology and I don't require additional old, obsolete technology.

The hell, not a single board with 8 RAM slots? I have 8 sticks of DDR4 RAM on my current MSI MB and was hoping to move all 8 with the upgrade. Guess I'll be looking for another brand.

Shame the good stuff is all DDR5, I was looking for a Taichi, always rock solid choice, cant go wrong with them..but didn't want to spend 300$ on new memory sticks ahaha

I mean, 4 sticks of DDR5 can be 512GB of RAM at something like 4800Mhz-8400Mhz so...
