AMD's Phased Launch of 800-Series Motherboards
AMD initially launched its 800-series motherboards with only high-end X870 and X870E models, with the B840 and B850 boards expected in early 2025. These leaks of B850 motherboards seem to confirm the rumors.
Asus is also reportedly preparing to launch eight B850 and three B840 models aimed at system integrators. These mid-range motherboards will launch alongside budget Intel motherboards at CES 2025, making high-end gaming hardware more accessible.
Until the new B850 and B840 motherboards arrive, users can use older B650 motherboards with updated BIOS for the Ryzen 9000 series CPUs. However, these new boards will offer the latest technologies, allowing you to get the most out of your Ryzen 9000 processor without paying a premium for high-end boards.
