Nice. The first b550 I've seen for pre-order and it's a micro ATX.

Wish it was the new X570 or B550 Tomahawk. Good looking out though. Maybe we'll see other models soon.

What's better or special about the Tomahawk? Need a board for the new server build.

Tomahawk has good VRMs.

Crazy how this is the price of X570 boards

I'm not sure about the B550 version, but the X570 supposedly will have the best VRM's you can find on a board for under $300. MSI is trying to make up for the absolutely horrible VRM's with super high heat levels (20-40 degrees Celsius hotter than other boards!) on the Gaming Pro Carbon, Gaming Edge Wifi and lower end X570 boards. They're advertising it as their "return to honor". They're basically putting VRM's that should be on a $300+ board on a $200-ish board to make up for how badly they got trashed by EVERYONE for their previous low-mid range X570's.

Agreed, the lower end B450 boards were dirt cheap and even the Tomahawk was barely over 100 dollars back in the day. Supposedly the B550 boards have better VRMs and more features than their equivalent B450 model, but I feel like part of it is just the PCIe 4.0 tax. Atleast the B550 doesn't require a stupid fan, still can't believe most X570 boards have them.

Advantage of this over the ASRock b450m pro4 for half the price? (assuming b450s will get the update reasonably quickly)

I will wait for an online review of these boards before ordering ANY of them. I don't think I see any need for a X570, but will keep my mind open.
