AI is to blame but why you missed Samsung and SK Hynix?
They're to blame, too, but crucial leaving because they figured they couldn't milk us enough so they could focus on bigger profits from bigger fish is just as much an issue nowadays
This uses the last midrange chipset (B550) for the AM4 socket. The high end chipset (X570) on more expensive motherboards runs hot, uses a fan for cooling which will eventually make noise and die, and has features that 95% of people don't need and won't use.
At $85 this is a very well built motherboard and great if you already have DDR4 memory. Put a 5600x or 5700x on it with a modern gpu and you'll be good for a few years at least. Hopefully DDR5 prices will have come down by then.
