As a high-quality, rigorous technology digital author, Xiaobian rarely introduces and recommends a motherboard, because this is suspected of "collecting money" and "just rice", which is hated by digital enthusiasts.
Therefore, Xiaobian rarely writes about this kind of subject matter, and even if he does, most of the time he writes about "overturning" news, such as the problem of burning memory on the motherboard of a certain brand, the cracking of the Nanqiao chip on the motherboard of a certain brand, and so on.
However, today Xiaobian wants to "make an exception," introduce and recommend a domestic B650 motherboard,—— So, why does Xiaobian do this? This has nothing to do with "collecting money" and "just rice", it is completely to share the latest practical information, the majority of senior digital hardware enthusiasts and friends know that the price of AM5 motherboard has always been a pain point.
In all fairness, the performance of AMD Ryzen 7000 series processors is remarkable, and it is a significant improvement over the previous generation Ryzen 5000 series.
However, if you want to assemble the host of the AM5 platform, the biggest problem is not the processor, but the motherboard, the price of the B650 motherboard of the mainstream first-line brand has been around 1500 yuan for a long time, and even now, it is still above 1000 yuan.
The AM5 platform must be matched with DDR5 memory, the price of the memory itself is not cheap, and the price of the motherboard is too expensive, on the other hand, the Intel platform can continue to use DDR4 memory, and the price of the B660 motherboard is fair. As a result, users who are interested in installing a computer and pursuing a cost-effective device will give preference to the Intel platform over the AMD platform.
To sum up, in this case, it has always been the common desire of digital enthusiasts to reduce the price of B650 motherboards as soon as possible and launch cost-effective B650 motherboards.
The following editor wants to introduce the Onda B650 motherboard, the specific model is called "B650M-W", the current actual price is 559 yuan, and there is the possibility of further price reduction.
The motherboard is available in black and white, with an mATX design, 8-phase power, support for AMD Ryzen 7000 and Ryzen 8000G APU series processors, and a BIOS update will be released in the future to support the Ryzen 9000 series processors that will arrive in the second half of the year.
There are only two DDR5 memory slots, so don't ask for this price, expect to be equipped with four memory slots, support DDR5 4800/5200/5600(OC)/6000(OC) MHz memory, and support EXPO overclocking. It supports a single memory with a capacity of 48GB, and the two together support up to 96GB memory, so there are only two memory slots, which is not a problem.
In terms of I/O interfaces, the M2 SSD supports the PCIE 4.0 standard and is equipped with four USB 3.2 Gen1 ports, a 1GbE LAN port, a 5.1-channel HD audio jack, two USB 2.0 ports, HDMI and VGA display outputs, while the I/O on the internal side includes a USB 3.2 Gen1 connector, four SATA III ports, and a 12V RGB connector.
In all fairness, from the perspective of a tech digital author, this B650 motherboard is a little thin in terms of materials and workmanship, but it can meet the needs of entry-level users and can be used on a daily basis.
Now, there are some B650 motherboards on the market that are 500 yuan to 1000 yuan, in addition, it is rumored that AMD will release Ryzen 9000 series processors in the future at the same time, and it is also possible to release a slightly optimized and improved new motherboard chipset, therefore, AMD's new platform motherboard is too expensive This pain point is expected to be gradually solved.
