Prices are up by more than they want us to think, the X870 chipset is the B650 chipset, same lanes/limitations, it's not an X670 rebrand, only the X870E seems to be a proper rebrand of the X670E. Very deceptive naming, AMD really are burning all the good will/reputation, that took them so many years to build up, at a hell of a rate. I bought the MSI X470 Carbon (also from Canada Computers) for what must have been $220 CAD pre tax. I say "must have been" because that X470 Carbon died, they gave me a refund (MSI has yet to screw me over completely, they're just really slow to get anything done), and I bought the TUF X570-Plus WiFi for a bit more, about $240. Let's see how much the X670E equivalents are at the same (CC) store I bought them... $680 for the X670E Carbon, and $350 for the TUF-Plus WiFi. Almost $770 after tax for a meh board. Might as well buy an ASRock X670E Taichi at those prices, it's cheaper LOL, which I'm considering since it looks to be near identical to the X870E Taichi that's coming.
