I'd swear that AMD have chosen Z490 just to piss Intel off.
They probably won't even use it lol 😉

What exactly would the Z490 bring to the table? More Pcie lanes for M.2 for example?

List has been removed...the only thing listed is the b450 and x470. I would imagine there is a new empty parking space at AMD. 😳

I guess Intel is going to change the naming convention of the next gen chipsets. Kinda childish of AMD to do this... They don't need to, they have a great product, no one cares what's it called. They only generate more confusion this way.

the fantastic news for the biggest slice of the market...if you have an itx system you can ignore the newer chipsets.
that said, as Schmidtbag pointed out mATX and ATX systems with lots of mass storage are the targets.
a mATX with 3 pcie M.2's is choice.
funny thing is that most people are going or have gone to external mass storage, but old habits die hard.

yes schmitty is right i was speaking of NAS, which can be much faster than your internet.
i'm too cautious to use cloud services (power outages, security, etc) except steam cloud for loading up new hardware with my game library

OK. I understand better now.
NAS is great, I have just built a big NAS, and am very very happy with it.
I don't trust the cloud at all.
Also, NAS's are good, but I have had a self-employed guy who had a two disk NAS, and still managed to knock the thing on the floor.
He ended up going to OnTrack and paying a few grand to get his data back.
He then got a new two disk NAS, and did the exact same setup as before.
There's no teaching some people.....
