Leading the charge is the flagship ASUS ROG Maximus Z890 Extreme, which is listed for a staggering $1111.87. This marks a considerable price increase compared to its predecessor, the ROG Maximus Z790 Extreme.
Following closely behind is the ROG Z890 Apex, priced at $812.29, also showcasing a significant price jump compared to its Z790 counterpart, which debuted at $649.99.
