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.
