Everybody talks about the graphics card price hike, although other components have also reflected this price rise. It is the example of motherboardswhich are now priced well above €100 to obtain a board compatible with the latest generation of processors, either Intel or AMD. But the latter promised us plates below this price threshold that placed under $100and it seems that the model leaked on Twitter fulfills this promise.
Hassan Mujtaba's Twitter account has appeared drawing of an MSI motherboard with socket AM5 only with the text “TOMORROW!” written in English. The design of the plate seems Very simple and can correspond to a plate with AMD A620 chipset entry-level and can keep this price under $100. In the leaked design you can see two power connectors, 24-pin and 8-pin, you can also see a simple 8 phase power system.
You can also see two DDR5 memory slots along with a single slot for NVMe SSD drives and two PCIe slots, one x16 and one x1. A simple plate reduced size that we hope too be it in priceso there will be economic alternatives without resorting to previous generations.

My passion for hardware began at the age of 14 when I gutted my first computer: a 386 DX 40 with 4MB of RAM and a 210MB hard drive.

I spend most of my free time playing video games, contemporary and retro, on the 20+ consoles I own, in addition to the PC.
