With the X870 and X870E motherboard release date just around the corner, we’ve spotted some early listings appearing online. We previously saw the new 800 series boards showing up on Amazon France (and across Europe), but we now have evidence of pricing in the US.
While AMD or its board partners haven’t officially revealed the prices just yet, this is the closest we can get, and they look better than we first expected. For now, it’s a wide range of Gigabyte motherboards including the X870 and X870E chipsets, ranging from $219.99 all the way up to $799.99.
Gigabyte X870 and X870E motherboards have appeared early on B&H Photo Video
B&H Photo Video is where we found Gigabyte’s new motherboards on display. While all of them (at the time of writing) are listed as ‘Temporarily Out of Stock’, you can add them to your cart to ensure you get one as early as possible. Anyone in the market for a new PC may want to do so, especially if you’re upgrading to AM5 with one of AMD’s new 9000 series processors.
- Gigabyte X870 GAMING PLUS WIFI Motherboard – $219.99
- Gigabyte X870 EAGLE WIFI7 Motherboard – $229.99
- Gigabyte X870 AORUS ELITE WIFI7 Motherboard – $289.99
- Gigabyte X870 AORUS ELITE WIFI7 ICE Motherboard – $289.99
- Gigabyte X870I AORUS PRO ICE Motherboard – $299.99
- Gigabyte X870E AORUS ELITE WIFI7 Motherboard – $319.99
- Gigabyte X870E AORUS PRO Motherboard – $359.99
- Gigabyte X870E AORUS PRO ICE Motherboard – $359.99
- Gigabyte X870E AORUS MASTER Motherboard – $499.99
- Gigabyte X870E A XTREME AI TOP Motherboard – $799.99
The expected availability is listed as ‘7-14 Business Days’, which roughly lines up with the end of September release window we currently expect for these boards, with September 30th as the current target.
How does it compare to current gen?
In case you were wondering how these prices compare to what’s currently on the market, we can take a closer look. Sticking with B&H Photo Video, the current-gen Gigabyte X670 AORUS ELITE AX Motherboard is listed at $229.99 right now – putting it around $60 cheaper than the closest 800 series equivalent we could find. However, the prices could see a decent shake-up once that launch day comes around, so we’ll have to wait and see. Either way, we think the pricing seems pretty competitive overall.
Since AMD is continuing on with the AM5 socket, It makes sense that the new 800 series aren’t miles away from the current 600 series (AMD is skipping the 700 series so it syncs up with Intel’s equivalent in case you weren’t aware). While we didn’t get to review a Gigabyte board, we have reviewed the ASUS ROG Crosshair X670E Hero, a model which is on the expensive end of the scale.
