Seems to be the first W680 motherboard for normal adults (the Supermicro is for senior citizens with its classic PCI slot wasting space better used for PCIe), the Gigabyte one is a bit too barebone for my tastes.
My personal gut is rumbling pretty hard regarding Intel at the moment, remember that the Alder Lake microcode sources leaked?
While sunlight is a great disinfectant, I’m pretty doubtful that Intel is going to fix everything that’s going to come from that - and let’s be honest, will most likely affect Raptor Lake very similarly.
AMD is no saint, but at least here I’m mostly only at odds with them regarding their product launch policies (no Zen 3 TR-Non-Pro, no 5950X3D, delayed 7000X3D), “USB 4 support” on X670 is just slapping Intel Thunderbolt 4 controllers on the motherboards.
