Intel has finally announced its budget-focused chipsets for its latest Core Ultra 200 series desktop CPUs. B860 and H810 are aimed at the mid-range and entry-level price segments, with motherboards sporting these chipsets starting at $99 and $129, respectively.
B860 is the newest chipset in Intel's B-series lineup, sporting 14 lanes of PCIe 4.0 connectivity (not including the CPU lanes), four SATA 3.0 ports, 1Gb Ethernet, Bluetooth 5.3, and Wi-Fi 6 support. Memory support is purportedly limited to 6400 MT/s. USB-based I/O consists of up to 16 USB 3.2 ports and 12 USB 2.0 ports; however, bandwidth for those 12 ports can be changed to power dual 20Gbps USB ports, four 10Gbps ports, or six 5Gbps ports.
