Firstly, these new CPUs are pretty different from the last generation, with the new big.LITTLE design.

eTeknix: ASUS ROG MAXIMUS Z690 EXTREME Motherboard Preview
he Intel Alder Lake CPUs are almost here, and that means a new LGA1700 socket and the new Z690 chipset motherboards are coming too. While around 90 motherboards are hitting the global market for this launch, its unlikely that many of them will be able to keep up with the one in my hands today.

eTeknix: ASUS ROG Z690-I Gaming WiFi Motherboard Preview
ASUS and its Republic of Gamers branding have long been a staple for the enthusiast PC market. While theyve got more affordable motherboards under the ASUS banner, their ROG hardware typically focused on more high-end products. Mini-ITX motherboards are few and far between these days, let alone ones that fall into the higher-end part.

Anandtech: Best AMD Motherboards: October 2021
The current state of the motherboard market is relatively healthy, with plenty of stock across a wide variety of models and chipsets for users to either upgrade or build a new system. It seems as though the supply of CPUs seems to be holding stable, which has had a positive effect on pricing, such as the Ryzen 9 5950X currently available to buy at Amazon for $746. Although the same cant be said about graphics cards, AMD has a myriad of motherboard chipsets available to help narrow the choice based on both a customers need or budget. With stock starting to filter in on the latest X570S models, albeit not many, its time to see whats hot right now and to give our picks for October 2021 in our latest AMD motherboard buyers guide.

ASUS is one of the coolest names in the business, and while their ROG hardware may be a prime choice for the enthusiast PC builder, I must admit, Im more of a fan of the TUF Gaming range. You often get all the features you could possibly need, and the price isnt quite as extreme.
