Z170

[b.schesch]

Hello guys,

Will the z170 mobo so expensive than the x99 mobos

Thx for answer

[niofalpha]

We don't know. It's a mainstream chipset so it'll probably be cheaper (x99 was an enthusiest chipset).

[Tech_Dreamer]

the first line up, defenitely would be on mid/premium side

[DarkSmith2]

i expect it to be expansive on the first weeks, Then it will normalize to z97 price-range

With it using DDR4, my guess it will be near the same price range as the X99. The only way to bring down ub price is only if you grab a cheap board.

If Z170 hits the market , DDR4 is going to drop in prices slowly after ...

Yep just like how it was with ddr3, but it did took quite some time for the price to gradually drop.

DDR4 is actually not that expensive anymore (a 16GB kit from Kingston cost like US$162)

My guess though is that Z170 will cost about as much as X99 for a couple weeks and like others said come back down to around Z97 prices.

I have a feeling that people wanting to upgrade to Skylake are gunna be salty when they find out that they do infact have to either buy DDR3L or DDR4 with a Z170 board. 

 

Nothing like spreading false rumours around the internet.

i gonna buy ddr4 anyway ;D Older system will still be used.

It's new.  There is bound to be a premium at first.  A year after I'm sure pricing will normalize/ 1st series will go on sale and that is when I plan to buy.  Also DDR4 will be more reasonable by that time I would imagine.
