During the forthcoming “Intel Innovation” summit this month, Intel is poised to unveil its 14th-generation Core processors, known as Raptor Lake Refresh. Reports have indicated that MSI is on the cusp of introducing its new Z790 MAX motherboard series, meticulously optimized for the impending processors in terms of power delivery. These motherboards promise support for faster DDR5 memory, augmented by superior thermal designs.
Recent online disclosures have shed light on the Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for the MSI Z790 MAX motherboard series:

- MPG Z790 CARBON MAX WIFI: $499.00
- MPG Z790 EDGE MAX WIFI: $399.99
- MAG Z790 TOMAHAWK MAX WIFI: $329.99

Based on the leaked data, these prices represent a noticeable escalation from the initial rollout of the Z790 models, marking a hike ranging between 5% to 15%.
With the MEG Z790 GODLIKE MAX priced at a staggering $1,299 — $100 more than the $1,199 MEG Z790 GODLIKE — it becomes particularly noteworthy. For context, NVIDIA’s prior release of the GeForce RTX 4080, grounded in the Ada Lovelace architecture, bore an MSRP of $1,199.
