Why don't CPU makers sell reference motherboards, like how Nvidia sells reference GPUs, so that companies are incentivized to build something better?

  That's the problem: enthusiast motherboards are faster than reference designs. They're so fast that they aren't stable. Nobody is going to compete to make a slower motherboard.

  Intel used to, I think they stopped around the time of the cc820 debacle.
