The rising prices for high, mid, and low end Z690 chipset motherboards are a pretty high barrier that most users don’t want to overcome. There are over 100 models, but not expensive … hardly any. That’s why users expect H670, B660 and H610 chipsets Like May water to launch with DDR4 and new CPUs to build a PC, but… One of the three is delayed and they will all be more expensive!
CES 2022 is approaching and we are all looking forward to it. Companies are eagerly awaiting him to launch their respective shots, and unsurprisingly the leaks are heating up the atmosphere. If the series filters H y P
Intel B660 and H610 chipset, the big ones
The blue giant wants to complete the entire range of chipsets for its already famous Alder Lake, so faced with strong criticism of the inaccessibility of its platforms, after the controversy with DDR5 and its stock, as well as its general prices, it wants to pay water on the fire to extinguish it on the basis of two new chipsets where all hopes are.
When will they arrive? After the announcement on January 4 at CES, more precisely on January 5 at dawn, where in our country it would be around noon. To the point that Intel would have already delivered chipsets more than two months before this date, where manufacturers already have motherboards ready and are currently going to wholesalers or directly to stores to be on this date of day 5.
Few models and units, more expensive and with delays
Advancing shipments is contradictory if we are talking about delays, but we are not talking about B660 and H610, but at H670. The first two will arrive on time but the last and least attractive to almost everyone will be postponed until after the Chinese New Year and its holidays, so we will surely see it in mid-February, hopefully.
Because? Because since the B660 accepts overclocking in RAM, its higher brother is less attractive to everyone, since overclocking in Alder Lake is negligible and therefore not useful. This chipset has average specs which put it in an uncertain scenario and although there have been rumors of cancellation, it has simply been postponed for now.
What these three new chipsets will have in common is something we’ve seen before: a higher price tag on motherboards that incorporate it, so again the 500 series will be the last we’ll see with pricing. in line with expectations. Cheaper than the Z690? Sure, but maybe not as much as initially expected which might take away all or at least some of the appeal of these motherboards.
