Sapphire expands its range of Nitro Atx base plates, but only for the Chinese market
Sapphire, a well -known graphics card brand with AMD technology, has announced the expansion of its Nitro baseline line With the introduction of new models in standard ATX format, Nitro B850A and B650A. Something to highlight is that these new additions are designed only for the Chinese market and its availability in other regions is not expected at the moment. The models were presented exclusively on Chinese sales platforms.
Connectivity and Memory Improvements
It is not the first time that the firm makes distinctions between regions. In this case, the decision to focus on the Chinese market arises despite the fact that Sapphire had already shown prototypes of high -end base plates in Computex, some with the ability to integrate the GC-HPWR connectorwhich seeks to eliminate visible feed cables for graphics cards. It is possible that these higher range models, based on the X870 chipset, are launched later.
A Difference between the two models lies in memory support. Nitro B850A supports DDR5 memory with overclock speeds up to 8000 mt/s, while Nitro B650A reaches 7600 mt/s. Sapphire has not yet published compatibility lists, so compatibility with faster memory kits is yet to be confirmed. As for prices, the nitro+ B850A wifi motherboard has a cost of 1,349 yuan, while the Nitro+ B650A WiFi is offered by 1,099 yuan.
