ASUS ROG Rampage III Extreme

[massman]

Maximus = mainstream
Rampage = high-end

Formula = mainstream
Extreme = high-end
Gene = small-factor

So:

Maximus Formula < Maximus Extreme < Rampage Formula < Rampage Extreme
mainstream mainstream < mainstream high-end < high-end mainstream < high-end high-end

Maximus = mainstream
Rampage = high-end

Formula = mainstream
Extreme = high-end
Gene = small-factor

So:

Maximus Formula < Maximus Extreme < Rampage Formula < Rampage Extreme
mainstream mainstream < mainstream high-end < high-end mainstream < high-end high-end

originally formula was ddr2 and extreme was ddr3... right?
and maximus and rampage were different boards... maximus was the first step of improvements over the regular asus boards, and rampage was the second step, with even more features and tweaks.

i thought now they use formula for 1156 and extreme for 1366..
that would make the most sense as thats the same segmentation ddr2 and ddr3 did before for intel chipsets...

man, this is really getting confusing
i wish theyd just stop the maximus and rampage naming... they could continue with formula and extreme to seperate 1156 and 1366...

according to what you wrote massmann, there are contradictions and double names now.
maximus extreme would be mainstream highend... so which one?
and rampage extreme is highend highend... highend highend highend? highend? highend highend! :P

^
Intel's mainstream vs high-end chipset i.e P45 and P55 = maximus while X48 and X58 = rampage. Formula and extreme indicate the feature set.

It would be nice if a rep stopped by and gave us a heads up on the whole situation. The reporting thus far has been abysmal... or is this trickle marketing in action?

Let me put it this way:

Mainstream within mainstream = MF
high-end within mainstream = ME
mainstrean within high-end = RF
high-end within highend = RE
