Well I guess it certainly wouldn't hurt to write to EVGA and encourage them to pursue AMD motherboards again. I can't speak for EVGA but that is no doubt a marketing decision as well based upon customer need.

Just to add to rjohnson11, "Customer need" refers to a majority.  The cost to develop the product is divided by those who would get it.  If that number of gauranteed customers are too small, that pushes up the unit costs; and if that cost is too high = no sales.  Like rjohnson11 says, you may have to write a letter or get a petition going with more people who will (not just thinking about it or maybe)get an EVGA-branded AMD board.  Remember, it needs to be worth EVGA's investment to make it, not just yours to get one.

Yea where is evga's 790a classy love

Its seabigbear, what else do I need to say?

890FX classified anyone?

I gave up on EVGA doing any current Phenom II capable entheusiast mobos long ago. I went with a Foxconn Destroyer last year in place of EVGA AMD vaporware. EVGA used to do some pretty good AMD mobos before Intel really started shining.

That would be awesome.

There arent too many good AMD motherboards right now IMO, but the new Asus Crosshair should be nice. And the new 890FX chipset should bring in a whole new set of motherboards.

Only if EVGA purchased an SLI license for it too. Then again there is the SLI hack, but those things aren't spoke of here. If you can't tell already, I'm no fan of the software driver imposed SLI tax.

I'm convinced it's not through customer opinion, that Intel motherboards should be made by EVGA, and Intel ones only. I'm more in tune with the idea that it was Intel's choice to do so. They've monopolized the enter processor market as of now. It's almost impossible to find a decent note book with an AMD processor, every single one has an Intel in it. Apple is also partly to thank for this, as they only use Intel processors, and they too have monopolized the computer market. A very very large and vast majority of people out there who are buying computers are going towards that direction, apple computers, and if they stay wit the PC format, they usually tend to gear towards Intel and ATI products only. It would be nice if EVGA could continue it's production of AMD motherboards, I highly doubt you'll encounter any profit to production losses over this for I will definitely be a buyer of your AMD motherboards and I'm pretty sure many others as well. AMD FTW.

This has been brought up before. It won't happen untill AMD can pass up intel in performance and show higher benchmarks. They are behind and EVGA is always trying to stick with the best at what is current. Simply put, unless AMD can pull some crazy performance with their next line-up, it's not going to happen. As things are right now, the i7's are above 20-30% better clock to clock than the Phenom II's. EVGA has always been about the best, and AMD simply is not the best at the moment.

With that said, eventhough they are not the best, I know many people that would purchase an EVGA AMD board over any other in a heartbeat. I believe it would be profitable for EVGA and I think we would actually get to see more performance out of an EVGA board than any other on the AMD market.

@ PCsFTW: AMD has plenty of laptops out there, the processors that Intel has for those netbooks are better and more powerful than what AMD has to offer. They are also out at competative prices per performance.

It will not happen because of the socket 1156 a less $$ than 1366 that's why!

If your going to stick with amd an asus or gigabyte board may be your best option tbh.

You could go with MSI , they have a Tri-Sli MB and AM3 socket.

Asus pretty much holds the best performance with AMD motherboards.

The anwser is no. :/
