The cold Bethlehem night hummed with frustrated murmurs. Inns overflowed, their doors shut against the weary. Mary, heavy with child, leaned against Joseph, her breath coming in ragged gasps as another innkeeper shook his head apologetically. "No room, good people. Not a single corner".

I'm Planning My Next Computer

The thing is, Intel are now just launching Z890 and I think I will go for Intel. These Intel boards provide an 8 lane DMI 4 bus. If saving money I will go for the Core Ultra 5 processor and not the F model because I would like to be able to use DisplayPort on the motherboard again.

In biding my time and trying to afford this, I may wait and see if Intel launch a H870 motherboard.
