![]() The new changes will come into effect this quarter and could appear on new products before the end of the year. Instead, the logos that were developed for the USB4 standard and USB PD 3.1, will be adapted across the board. At the same time, the old SuperSpeed USB logo is being retired and the branding will not appear on new products at all. This is said to be done to simplify the plethora of logos that are currently being used and to make it easier for consumers to know what they're buying. The USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF) has announced a few changes to the various logos that are tied to the USB standard. ![]() This type of board was supposed to start at or below the US$150 mark and we'll hopefully see a transition to there in due time. On the other hand, it only has a front header for a USB-C port and none around the back. The board obviously also has WiFi 6E and somewhat surprisingly has 2.5 Gbps Ethernet. It doesn't appear as if any of these boards are based on the B650E chipset, but based on information TPU were given at Computex, we know that some higher-end B650 boards will cost around the same as some lower-end B650E boards.Īs B&H has only listed key features of the boards, it's hard to tell what features some of the boards offer, but the base model is the mATX Pro B650M-A WiFi, which at the very least has one PCIe 4.0 x16 slot, one PCIe 4.0 x4 slot, one PCIe 3.0 x1 slot and two M.2 slots. The company has listed no less than seven different models from MSI, ranging in price from US$199.99 to US$329.99. ![]() US retailer B&H has kindly provided the first B650 motherboard pricing and it's something of a mixed bag. On the same kind of level sits B650 Pro RS, which is a step down in the sense that one of the M.2 slots PCIe 3.0 x2 and it has fewer PCIe slot, but it appears to have slightly fancier cooling for the VRMs and it gains a DisplayPort output around the back. At least there's a rear mounted 20 Gbps USB-C port here and the board has a total of three M.2 slots, of which one is PCIe 5.0. It comes with 2.5 Gbps Ethernet, but WiFi is optional. The base model is the B650 PG Lightning, which is a pretty feature stripped motherboard, yet all PCIe slots are said to be PCIe 4.0 and it has a pre-installed I/O shield. ![]() In other words it seems like most entry level boards are now using high-end PCBs, due to the transition to PCIe 5.0. Something interesting to note that Videocardz is pointing out, is that only the cheapest board in the lineup has a six layer PCB, with most models using an eight layer PCB and the Mini-ITX board is going up to 10 layers. Once again we're looking at a collection of seven models, four B650E and three B650 models in total. Unfortunately there's no pricing attached to this leak, unlike the earlier pricing details for MSI's B650 motherboards from B&H, but Videocardz has managed to get the specs for ASRocks upcoming B650 and B650E motherboards. ![]()
