the Aorus Extreme x670 AX is actually reasonably priced (in US) selling between $280-320 depending on vendor considering even this board has beefy VRMs, there is no real premium on it to the comparable x570, maybe $25-50. the real cost savings here is PCIe 4.0 & wifi AX instead of wifi 6. i'm going to wait for the Asrock x670E to hit retail before i buy though

fyi unrelated to aorus but to the availability of motherobards, the delivery of my msi x670e ace has just been pushed 1.5 month to mid-november :/ if stuff is in stock great for you if it's not take the announced deliveries with a grain of salt
