Dutch tech website Hardware.info has revealed some pricing information for Intel and ASRock motherboards that they received from information gathered using their Internet price tracker.<\/p>\n

Intel’s Haswell is due for a launch in less than a month’s time and its expected that motherboard vendors and distributors are preparing for the flood of new devices and computers with the new chips. Haswell brings along with it a new socket and upgraded GPU graphics, a slightly higher TDP and better performance over Ivy Bridge.<\/p>\n

Hardware.info estimates that these are the prices consumers will pay at the retail end of the market. However, consumers in the Netherlands pay 21% VAT on all computer hardware, so pricing will vary for local markets, but they will be similar.<\/p>\n

Pricing for the motherboards isn’t bad at all. It seems to be in line with the prices we’re paying for Ivy Bridge-based boards today and the ASRock B85M Pro 4 might be the sweet spot if you’re not going to overclock, but will fit in a quad-core processor and possibly enjoy some dual-GPU action.<\/p>\n

ASRock is also producing three ITX motherboards based on the different consumer chipsets, so those of you planning for a really small rig will be in luck.<\/p>\n

As the Haswell launch on 4 June 2013 draws nearer, you can expect more pricing to be revealed, but here at MyGaming we don’t expect prices to be any different from what you’re seeing here today.<\/p>\n
