Any details on phases for Taichi.

Know the master is 14+2 70amps and all direct with no doublers. 6 layer PCB . Both boards only two to have 3x m.2 slots.


Only what is on their website, says 16 power phase design and this in specs,


ASRock Super Alloy

- XXL Aluminum Alloy Heatsink
- Premium 60A Power Choke
- 50A Dr.MOS


Guess we will have to wait for reviews on all the B550 boards.

Personally the B550 covers my needs.

Now just need to wait on pricing and reviews.

Massively impressed with the variety of mATX boards coming at launch. So often they are late to the party and limited in feature sets. ASUS TUF gaming WiFi has 8 usbs on the back, WiFi and Bluetooth! Madness for a mATX board.

Interesting rumour via WCCFtech that some B550 boards when used with Renoir will be able to output HDMI 2.1.
There is some doubt whether this speaks to the boards having an LPScon chip integrated into the HDMI out, or some inherent capability of the CPU.

Massive kudos to the firsdt perason to identify a mITX B550 board capable of HDMI 2.1 out...?

Could be some truth in that as some of the Aorus B550 boards have dual HDMI 2.1 ouputs.

8 layer PCB so should hit over 4000hz (ram) with overclocking :D

Most likely the biggest info of the MSI reveal event. "Is B450 ended?" was one question. Eric responded "No... infact B450 will continue to atleast 2021".

Additional info from MSI's livestream I just skimmed through.

The MPG B550 Gaming Carbon Wifi is their flagship B550 offering: 6 x IR359 Doubler with 12 stage TDA21462 each handling 60 Amps

https://i.imgur.com/sFYwQOB.jpg

Michiel stated that 12 Stage will be the max B550 will have on MSI's offerings.

2oz copper will be featured on the purple icon boards on a 6 layer PCB, apparently this will lead to a 20c reduction and dissipate heat faster: https://i.imgur.com/KNcal84.jpg

The B550 release will see MSI's B450 range drop in price. B550 will cost more than B450 did at launch. ITX model board has 2.1 HDMI but everything else is 1.4

B550 Tomahwak looks very similar to the X570 Tomahawk: https://i.imgur.com/1Je4Wfd.jpg

Segmentation was shown. No MEG boards on B550: https://i.imgur.com/yuZPits.jpg

Funny info. There won't be any white motherboards because signal integrity is too bad. Only black motherboards can handle PCIe4.

Tomaahwak has 4 RGB headers: https://i.imgur.com/yTpLHfV.png

All boards will feature a flash BIOS button: https://i.imgur.com/VQX2F39.jpg

All boards appear to be daisy chained wit DDR4 speeds supported upto 4,866 Mhz. Might be marketing speak but they claimed the best DDR4 support on B550. They have 2-3 full time RAM module testers: https://i.imgur.com/KsRgIh9.jpg

However most models will be limited to 4,200 Mhz

All models will have a Type-C front panel connector.

The flasgship Gaming Carbon Wifi will be $219. In euros it's 249 but that includes VAT.

MPG Gamign Edge Wifi 10 Phase is $189. 209 euros.

B550 Tomahawk specs outlined (ALC1200 Audio): https://i.imgur.com/12BC7NI.png

It will be $179 and 199 euros with VAT.
