Ryzen 7000: MSI B650 motherboards start at $200, according to retailers

AMD will be on October 4th at the Meet the Experts Webinar present the new B650/B650E motherboards for Ryzen 7000. Of course, as is so often the case, many a specification, but also one or the other recording, has made it onto the Internet. Now the first US retailer is pre-registering B650 motherboards from MSI – including price tags. Many should still have the amount of 125 dollars in mind, from which the motherboards should be available according to AMD. However, said retailer does not stock any boards under $199.

This means that the boards are at least cheaper than the available X670/X670E squads in our price comparison starts at 320 euros, but also costs at least $300 in the US. Meanwhile, the prices quoted by dealer “B&H” do not even have to be “final”. The resourceful merchant often pulls surcharges out of the pockets of early adopters, which only disappear when they are widely available. Conversely, users from euro countries have to be prepared for additional amounts, not least because of the weak euro exchange rate.

All B650 mainboards listed by “B&H” with price tags come from MSI, ranging from Mini-ITX to Micro-ATX to standard ATX models. A B650E, i.e. an extreme variant, is not among them. However, the list does not necessarily have to be complete. Even more slimmed down models that actually cost 125 dollars may simply not have reached the dealer yet. The prices are currently as follows:

If X670/X670E mainboards are too expensive for you, you have to be patient for a few more days. AMD will reveal specific details early next week. With regard to the PCI-E 5.0 specification of the chipsets, however, it is already known that the Extreme variants with the E suffix deliver PCI-Express 5.0 for both graphics cards and M.2 SSDs. I/O hubs without an E suffix provide PCI-Express 5.0 for only one of the two.
