The B660 and H610 motherboards will arrive on January 5, H670 would have been canceled for not offering good price-quality

While it was already known that the B660 and H610 motherboards will be announced this January 4 during Intel’s CES 2022 conference, there were still questions about when they would hit the market. Now, thanks to a report from the Chinese site ITHome, these doubts are over, since it would be confirmed that they will arrive on January 5.

The ITHome report indicates that although they will arrive on that date, there will be very few units and little variety of models, which will improve in late January or early February. In addition, they will have higher prices than their predecessors based on H510 and B560, as happened in the case of Z690 versus Z590.

H670 chipset canceled?

In addition to this report, there is another report from MyDrivers that says that the H670 chipset would have been canceled as the upper-mid-range models overshoot the Z690 entry-level in terms of price, and therefore who wants to spend That money chooses the Z690, and those looking for something cheap opts for the B660 that offers memory overclocking and enough I / O for a lower price, so the public potential for the H670 does not justify launching such a chipset.

The ITHome report mentions that H670 will arrive later, but not that it is canceled, so there are doubts about what will happen with this chipset. We will have to wait for the announcement from Intel and the motherboard manufacturers to see what ends up happening, and if we end up seeing H670 or not.

Are you looking forward to the arrival of the B660 and H610 motherboards so that you can more economically upgrade to Alder Lake?
