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.
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.
