With AMD announcing an October 2022 debut of its mid-range Socket AM5 motherboard chipset, the AMD B650E and B650; manufacturers appear to be ready with a fairly broad selection of products targeting various price-points. The B650E and B650 are expected to have a lighter I/O feature-set than the X670E/X670, and will enable manufacturers to sell motherboards at prices starting at $125. Two of the leading manufacturers, ASUS and ASRock, are ready with their product lists.

The initial ASUS motherboard lineup for the AMD B650E and B650 chipsets include just one product in the mainline Prime series, as many as four from the TUF Gaming series, and two from the ROG Strix series. From these, only one is based on the B650E (meaning, it gets a PCI-Express 5.0 x16 slot besides the M.2 Gen 5 slot). The others are based on the vanilla B650 (PCI-Express 4.0 x16 slot besides M.2 Gen 5 slots). None of the boards has more than 4 SATA 6 Gbps ports. The board to watch out for will be the ROG Strix B650E-E Gaming WiFi, as it could bring several high-end features into the mid-range, and if previous generations of AMD chipset are anything to go by, the B650/E retains CPU overclocking support.
 
The ASRock lineup is a lot more comprehensive, with at least five models based on the B650E, and seven based on the B650. These cover popular ASRock brands such as PRO, Phantom Gaming, PG Riptide, PG Velocita, and includes some new names, such as LiveMixer and PG Lightning. ASRock is the OEM of NZXT's motherboards, and so the upcoming NZXT N7-B65XT also finds mention.
 
This chipset should allow a lower cost motherboard for those who don't need a top of line extreme chipset.

    if prices are near the starting price $125 they will be a nice value MB, the better ones will probably be more than double the $125
