With the release of the Ryzen 9000 series processors, all eyes are on the 800-series motherboard, which will feature the new chipsets and be compatible with the Ryzen 7000 and 9000 series CPUs.

We know that ASRock is all set to release their X870E and X870 motherboards, and now MSI has officially joined the race. It showcased four 800-series motherboards along with their impressive specifications. While there isn’t any official word from MSI when these boards will be available for purchase, reviews are said to go live this month. With various brands showcasing their new motherboards, we’re sure that we’re inching closer to the X870E and X870 motherboard release date.

MSI claims that these upcoming mainboards are engineered to seamlessly work with the Ryzen 9000 and 7000X3D chips and feature AI technology to enhance performance and efficiency. The four motherboards released are part of the MEG, MPG, MAG, and PRO series, all of which are designed for specific use cases.
