I didn't really knew where to ask, so I asking here.
 
With upcoming* release of Zen platform I would like to inquire if EVGA plan to support new AM4 platform. I know from multiple interviews that company stick with nVidia for GPUs and I understand that. However considering that AMD was (and still is) in CPU wilderness for past -whooo- decade+, perhaps support for Zen would be a good thing. Just thinking aloud here.
 
If yes I'll be thrilled (if Zen delivers of course), if not (and Zen is a success) it'll be massive downer to look elsewhere for boards. No reason to hide that I'm EVGA motherboard Junkie with capital J.
 
* - "AMD upcoming" means between now and 72 months. ;-D Cruel? Well perhaps a bit, but still very true. LOL

EVGA is Nvidia and Intel only. Why? From what I understand it has to do with EVGA's relationship with Nvidia. EVGA gets to market special products by being Nvidia only, such as the KingPin editions and what not.
 
Even if that wasn't the case... most gamers today are running Intel. Why does this matter? If EVGA spends say, $500,000 on research and development of an AMD board and wants to sell them at $250 a piece. That's 2000 boards they need to sell to make their costs for development, then there is also equipment costs, labor, the power... There's a lot of hidden stuff that the consumer never considers. 
 
At the end of the day, there is someone at EVGA with his pencil and his calculators that has already done the math. It's just simply not worth it to EVGA to make AMD boards.
 
EVGA tailors to enthusiasts. At the moment, AMD just doesn't cut it. Zen could be big, but i'm tired of the AMD hype personally. 

AMD will need to gain more market share before we see small motherboard mfg jump on board.

But they used to make AMD motherboards and stopped..............That's what brought me here so long ago AMD board with SLI support............

If AMD can turn things around, who knows maybe one day evga might sell AMD motherboards again.
 
 
 
 

I have been a member for 10 years and they haven't sold any AMD products. How long ago was this?

ypsylon Are you not Happy with your EVGA X99 Classified Motherboard?
The Day EVGA starts to make AMD Motherboards or AMD Graphics Cards is the day I drop EVGA.
 
 

 
I doubt very much that it will happen. Nvidia and Intel is a better combination. Words of advice. If ever offered the AMD kool-Aid, just tell them you want something stronger. Like an Nvidia / Intel combo drink. Make it a double. (Hold the ice).

OMG, but then it was when ATI was Still Making the Graphics Cards
