Maybe it's just the fanboy in me, but talking about a 9900k vs a 2000 series topping out at 4.2Ghz vs the 5.0Ghz possible on lucky i9's so close to 3000's release just seems like spite. Yes, I know we haven't seen reviews, but I don't see much of a reason to think the chips are going to be a step backwards.

Review: ASRock Z390 Steel Legend
I found some small errors in the product spec page:
The mobo has only two x16 slots, but the spec twice says that it has three.
In one part it says that it has two x16 slots from CPU x16/x0 or x8/x8 and one x16 slot from chipset at x4 and then it say that the motherboard has 3-way mode - x8 / x4 / x4
On the same page it says that the board has PCIe 2.0 x1 (Chipset): 3, z390 is fully PCIe Gen 3.0 and doesn't have Gen 2.0, Gen 2.0 is for AMD chipsets
Here is the proper spec:
- 2 x PCI Express 3.0 x16 Slots (PCIE1/PCIE4: single at x16 (PCIE1); dual at x16 (PCIE1) / x4 (PCIE4))*
- 3 x PCI Express 3.0 x1 Slots (Flexible PCIe)
- Supports AMD Quad CrossFireX™ and CrossFireX™
- 1 x M.2 Socket (Key E), supports type 2230 WiFi/BT module and Intel® CNVi (Integrated WiFi/BT)
