ASUS Rampage V Extreme Review @ Overclockers3D
"... it's refreshing to see one reserving a particular model for only the very biggest changes. It must have been tempting to dust off the Rampage brand for the Z97s, but ASUS held off and so, after three years, we finally get a new flagship in the form of the Rampage V Extreme, and boy was it worth the wait."

"Also on the cards for launch day is the highly anticipated ASUS ROG Rampage V Extreme motherboard. Users who follow the industry will know that Z97 never received a Maximus VII Extreme model, and the Rampage V Extreme is the reason why: because ASUS sees the Extreme line as the top of the top, when a major socket release comes around it requires extra time and effort to ensure day one satisfaction."
