Pricing of Eight ASRock Z690 Motherboard Leak

As we’re getting closer to the reveal of Intel’s 12-series of CPUs and the Z690 chipset, we’re seeing more and more retailers leak pricing information about the various products and today pricing of some upcoming ASRock Z690 has leaked courtesy of Amazon UK. We’re looking at a good spread of boards here, from the high-end Z690 Taichi to entry level Phantom Gaming 4, which should give a good idea on what to expect to pay based on where in the range the board is located.

The cheapest board of the eight is the Z690M Phantom Gaming 4 which is a DDR4 board and this mATX board comes in at £172.50, or about $238. Keep in mind that UK VAT is at 20 percent, so the pricing might not be directly comparable to US pricing. Next up we have the full-sized Z690 Phantom Gaming 4 which comes in at £213.50 or US$295, with the DDR5 version actually being slightly cheaper at £207.15 or US$286.

This is followed by the Z690 Phantom Gaming Riptide DDR4 at £240.62 or US$333. It should be noted that the Riptide naming has so far only been used on some AMD motherboard SKUs from ASRock. Moving up another step we have the Z690 Steel Legend DDR4 at £280.72 or US$388, followed by the Z690 Extreme (DDR5) at £306.20 or US$422.

The last two boards are really jumping in terms of price, starting with the Z690 Phantom Gaming Velocita DDR5 at £457.59 or US$632. Although not ASRock’s flagship model, basierend auf früheren Leaks, the Z690 Taichi DDR5 is listed at a rather wallet unfriendly £627.57 or US$866. It seems like the only SKU that should be pricier than the Z690 Taichi will be the Z690 Aqua and if history is anything to go by, the Aqua will be well over US$1,000.
