What are people doing with these super expensive boards now? Like, I know there’s always the “top 1% first-person-shooter” niche that wants that last sub-millisecond of latency, playing games that don’t really respond to 3D cache, but… what else? That’s not a big niche. Modern CPUs have like no overclocking headroom, and even at stock are pushed way too hard.
I’d only spend that kind of money on an embedded Strix Halo board, or HEDT with tons of PCIe lanes. I just don’t see why you’d shell out for Arrow Lake like that when you can get 95% of the performance for a fraction of the price and power usage elsewhere.
