AMD’s new “budget” lineup of B550 motherboards can now be preordered at Newegg and other select retailers. These include the ASUS ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING ($189), MSI MAG B550 TOMAHAWK ($179), and GIGABYTE B550 AORUS MASTER ($279), which happens to feature three M.2 slots.
Those of you with a good memory may be disappointed at these listings, as prices have clearly increased since the previous, B450 generation. Wccftech has shared the following tables (via data from @momomo_us), which demonstrate the rise in costs.

It’ll be interesting to see how B550 sales compare to motherboards fitted with AMD’s flagship chipset. Some of these prices seem uncomfortably close to X570.
