Where "top" means "most expensive". The Z790 board I recently purchased for around $300 was pretty barebones and lackluster (no TB, meager IO from ports and headers, wattage constrained VRM relative to 13th gen TDP, etc), but it was the least costly way to work with an Intel proprietary technology.
It'll last another four or five years, but it was my first Intel build since the slocket days, and likely my last.
