Only the flagship chipset X670 and X670E motherboards are offered for AMD Ryzen 7000 processors, which are not so cheap yet.
In the near future, more affordable AMD B650 and B650E motherboards will be available for sale.
But even among them, it may be difficult to find a budget model.
American retailer B&H Photo Video has published prices of several B650-based motherboards, starting from $200.
MSI MPG B650 Carbon WIFI has the highest price among the reviewed models at $329.99.
At the same price you can find solutions based on the older AMD X670, albeit with basic equipment.
On the other hand, MSI PRO B650M-A WIFI is the cheapest amongst the devices announced by the retailer with a $199.99 price tag.
Of course this is not the full range of new motherboards even from MSI itself - obviously there will be a version of the MSI PRO B650M-A without Wi-Fi module and it will be cheaper.
But don't count on a significant difference.
On average, the price is about $250.
Models are available in Mini-ITX, Micro-ATX and ATX form factors of the MSI PRO, MAG and MPG series.
MSI MEG flagship series will feature only AMD X670 and X670E boards.At the end we should mention that AMD itself at the time of Ryzen 7000 processors and Socket AM5 platform announcement in August announced that the motherboards price for new chips will start from $125.
We would like to add that AMD B650 and B650E motherboards are expected to be announced on October 4.
