whats the difference between the classified and the dark board ? as both are kingpin editions?

[...]
 
C. from looking a the board, it seems that the Classified has the x4 PCIe slot at the bottom while the Dark doesn't (likely to focus on speed over some features again)

The DARK K|NGP|N will also have an x4 PCIe slot at the bottom.

Seriously man? Just purchased the Z590! Any trade up being offered would be greatly appreciated. JEEZ!

Classified motherboard for me.

Cant wait even though I have the Z590 FTW MOBO and a 10850k check out my all EVGA BUILD on the mods rigs page or click on the link next to this comment to vote for one of the mods rigs 

Are any of the M.2 slots PCI-E 5.0 x4 on the Classified?

Are any of the M.2 slots PCI-E 5.0 x4 on the Classified?

Per the page they have up:
"The EVGA Z690 CLASSIFIED is revealed as the latest addition to EVGA’s most-respected line of motherboards. Although few details are known, this motherboard is rumored to fully support the latest 12th Gen Intel® Core™ Series Processors and take full advantage of PCIe Gen5 and PCIe Gen4 M.2 NVMe SSDs."

I can't wait for a new build. My Z170 mobo getting old 

Please release quickly, want to buy!

I can’t wait until I can grab one of these and a 12900k.
I am still rocking my x58 classified mobo and i7-975, just a tad overdue for an upgrade!
