MSI shows off two AM4 Motherboards ready for AMD's Ryzen

At CES, MSI had their entire range of Z270 motherboards lined up for display. But amidst it all, sat two AM4 motherboards on a separate display. These are the X370 XPower Gaming Titanium and B350 Tomahawk boards for AMD’s upcoming Ryzen line of processors.

For a long time, AMD motherboards from manufactures such as MSI have never gotten the same kind of premium treatment that their Intel counterparts get. But these new boards finally  looks the part.

The X370 XPower Gaming Titanium is the equivalent of the MSI Z270 board of the same name, and so comes with a titanium PCB and all the features that comes with – including metal shielded DDR4 and PCI-Express slots. It will also support 2-way NVIDIA SLI and 3-way AMD CrossFire, and comes with two turbo M.2 slots, a single turbo U.2 slot and six SATA 6GB/s ports.

The B350 Tomahawk, not like its flashier Titanium sibling, comes in a black and grey PCB. It will also have two PCI-Express 3.0 slots although only one will be metal shielded. It will also only have one turbo M.2 slot.

Not much details are available, and MSI spokesperson on the show floor couldn’t tell us much either. Still, it’s great to see MSI (and hopefully other manufacturers) giving some proper love to AM4 boards.
