Intel motherboards in a Chinese store. The price of the H610 and B660 is not scary

With the premiere of new Intel motherboards for Alder Lake-S processors, will the price of building a 12th-generation Core platform finally make more sense? This is what the offers of Intel motherboards in the Chinese store indicate.

The Chinese store prematurely pointed to Intel motherboards

Although we officially know nothing about the premiere of new Intel Alder Lake-S motherboards and processors, rumors indicate that they will be presented at CES 2022 on January 4 and will be launched a day later. The offers with Intel B660 and H610 motherboards coming to the Taobao platform (such as Chinese Allegro) seem to confirm this, but most of all they indicate the possible prices of these models.

The cheapest album costs about $ 85, or PLN 350. This ASRock H610M-HDV/M in micro-ATX format, which offers one PCIe x16 slot, two PCIe x1, two DDR4 DIMM slots, two M.2 slots and two SATA 3 ports. The rear panel has a minimum I / O – only four USB ports and video outputs D-Sub, HDMI and DisplayPort.

The offers also include the Gigabyte B660M DS3H in Micro-ATX format for $ 120, which already has a PCIe 4.0 x16 slot, four SATA III ports and video outputs, two M.2 slots, 12 USB ports and an 8-channel sound system.
