ASRock's Fatal1ty X399 Professional Gaming board is ideal for high end gamers and other power users. This board gets the utmost from the modern high-speed networking environment with features like AQUANTIA 10Gb/s LAN – ideal for ultra-responsive lag-free online gaming, and for SOHO systems as well. The board’s 1 x U.2 connector and 3 x Ultra M.2 sockets easily support high-end SSDs for lightning fast startup and game level loading.

This board features IR3555M Dr. MOS and premium 60A power chokes, it is optimized for monitoring current and temperature to maintain stable power and flawless performance, even at peak loads and during overclocking.

Producing some of the smoothest and most lifelike graphics ever seen from the most powerful cards the industry has to offer, ASRock’s X399 motherboards supports 4-Way operation for both Nvidia SLI and AMD CrossFireX. All the PCIe lanes are supported directly from the CPU without using an additional bridge controller, to ensure unhindered graphics performance.

I'm curious why there would be a Gaming edition of this... 16 cores, 32 threads for which game? Crysis 4? :D

Were there any reasons for "gaming" brand?

There are valid reasons for "gaming" brands if it uses the correct HW setup such as including better 3D hardware audio as it has been proven to increase FPS at lower resolutions, better slot designs for multi-gpu (back then, moot point now), lower latency PS2 connectors for KB /Mouse and similar competitive enhancements.

But gaming on TR would be similar nonsensical marketing as making gaming edition of workstation, enterprise or data server products... what gamer would use that kind of HW (high core count, low frequency per core), ECC RAM, NAS, or other redundancy...

Just curious about the weird thinking behind it.

Don't ALL the high end boards use ALC1220 Audio chips ?

Today? Maybe but all ALCxxxx sound chips uses the CPU for processing, AFAIK. Its not a dedicated HW DSP that offloads the cpu, so will some CPU cycles. Correct me if I am wrong here.

I know the X-Fi DSP was a pretty damn powerful audio processor but not sure how fast or good those new Creative Lab Recon audio chips are. It may be some simple ARM cpus for all we know with some software processing behind it.

Yes, the ALC1220 does eat up some CPU cycles, its a very good onboard sound chip, none the less.

I think Asus still does the Xonar cards, but I think they are C-Media.
