Dari sekian banyak vendor besar yang mengantisipasi kemunculan CPU Intel X Series terbaru mendatang, Gigabyte boleh dibilang adalah salah satu vendor paling serius dan antisipatif yang dikabarkan kini mulai gencar menghadirkan sejumlah model motherboard X299 terbarunya yaitu Aorus Gaming 9, 7, dan 3 yang dapat Anda pre-order mulai dari tanggal 19-25 Juni yang akan datang. Sedangkan pengiriman pre-ordernya sendiri baru akan akan dimulai pada tanggal 26 Juni mendatang.
Setelah sempat diperkenalkan melalui ajang Computer 2017 Taipeh yang lalu, sejumlah model motherboard Gigabyte Aorus Gaming berbasis chipset X299 tersebut tampak mengincar dukungan processor Intel X-Series terbaru mendatang. Gigabyte sejak itu telah menawarkan beberapa informasi lebih lanjut tentang Aorus Gaming 9, 7, dan 3, dan bahkan baru-baru ini juga menggelar event pre-order yang akan memungkinkan Anda memastikan Anda melakukan debut CPU Kaby Lake-X dan Skylake-X.
Menurut salah satu sesi press releasenya, Gigabyte X299 Aorus Gaming 9, 7, and 3 akan tersedia dari “banyak toko ritel dan pengecer online”. Untuk kawasan Amerika dipegang oleh Amazon dan Newegg. sedangkan NCIX, Canada Computers, dan Memory Express ditujukan untuk pasaran Kanada.
Berikut adalah promosi yang cukup bervariasi dari para pengecer yang ada:
– Pembelian dari Newegg, pelanggan akan menerima paket CPU Headset HyperX Cloud Series & $ 15
– Pembelian dari Amazon, pelanggan akan menerima voucher kode Steam sebesar $ 50.
– Pembelian dari pengecer Kanada (NCIX, Canada Computers, Memory Express), pelanggan akan menerima Bundle CPU senilai $ 50
Perihal harga MSRP yang ditawarkan, sayangnya Gigabyte belum bisa mengungkapkannya melalui ajang Computex 2017 yang lalu, dan bahkan salah seorang juru bicara Gigabyte-pun turut menegaskan kalau pihaknya tidak dapat mengungkapkan harganya sampai embargo Intel dicabut.
Selain Gigabyte, ternyata ada sejumlah vendor besar lain yang kabarnya juga turut memamerkan model motherboard X299 terbarunya melalui ajang Computex 2017 yang lalu. Setidaknya ada Asus yang telah mengungkapkan hingga ketujuh model motherboard terbarunya dan juga MSI yang kabarnya telah memperkenalkan kelima model terbarunya.
