Price and Release Date

Unfortunately, we do not have the pricing information, although it’s obviously not going to be cheap, this is an extremely high-end board. However, I would expect it to be comparable to other higher end board launches of recent years. Unfortunately, due to NDA we can’t tell you the actual release date, but you know it’s not going to be very long now.
