Buying advice

Which should you buy?

The MEG X870E GODLIKE is the clear pick on raw spec strength, leading by 15.1 points on the Mars Score. The margin is wide enough that the underdog only makes sense if its individual strengths line up with what you specifically need.

The Prime Z890-P doesn't pull ahead on any single popular-comparison spec — its strengths sit in the spec table groups rather than the headline advantages.

Pick the MEG X870E GODLIKE if you care most about max memory and m.2 slots. Its strongest claims are max memory, m.2 slots, pcie slots, among others.

Both ship with comparable ram slots, so those specs don't separate the two — focus on the differences below.
