As you possibly can see from the dearth of pictures of the board, improvement continues to be on the early stage, and the processor and motherboard are solely anticipated in about 9 months (Q3/H2 2024), so I’d assume issues should still change a bit, particularly for the board.
However in the event you really feel considerably adventurous, you possibly can already pre-order your Oasis motherboard from Arace for simply $0.10 which offers you a coupon code for a 20% low cost, or a beginning worth of beginning $120. A couple of extra particulars can also be discovered within the announcement.
