ASRock WRX90 WS EVO vs ASUS Pro WS WRX80E-SAGE SE WIFI II

Buy the ASRock WRX90 WS EVO for a new Threadripper PRO 7000WX build that needs PCIe 5.0 across seven slots and 2 TB of DDR5. Buy the ASUS Pro WS WRX80E-SAGE SE WIFI II only if you already own a Threadripper PRO 3000WX or 5000WX chip, since it uses the older WRX80 platform. The ASRock is the newer board with faster memory and PCIe 5.0; the ASUS is a proven, heavily built workstation board with 16 power stages and onboard Wi-Fi. Both are large SSI EEB boards aimed at workstations, not desktops.

• Choose the ASRock WRX90 WS EVO if you are building around a Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7000WX CPU and want PCIe 5.0, DDR5 at up to 7600 MHz and 2 TB of ECC memory.
• Choose the ASUS Pro WS WRX80E-SAGE SE WIFI II if you already have a Threadripper PRO 3000WX or 5000WX processor, or want onboard Wi-Fi and a board with a long track record in workstation builds.
