You're forgetting the Premium price tag of high end AMD boards like the Crosshair V Beep. I have yet to see the first 5GHz stable BD on air or water, has anyone ever seen one? Sweetspot for mine was around 4650/4700.
Oh yeah, CHV is the only decent do-everything board for BD, CPU and memory... how much? $240? alright.
Meanwhile decent and useable P67 and Z68 boards selling like hotcakes for $120-200
