Earlier this month, AMD officially announced Ryzen, its next CPU due for release in Q1 2017 with performance that can compete with the likes of the Core i7 6900K. Obviously a new CPU also means new motherboards and at CES, it seems that MSI has a couple on show from both the high-end X370 line-up and the more budget friendly B350 line.

The CES show floor doesn't officially open until tomorrow but a few people managed to get a look at what MSI has on show ahead of time, leading to some images leaking on to the web. The image below shows the upcoming MSI X370 XPOWER Titanium Gaming motherboard on the right, with an MSI B350 Tomahawk on the left. The X370 Titanium is the higher-end of the two and will likely be one of MSI's flagship boards once Ryzen launches.
If you are looking for something a bit cheaper to pair with your shiny new Ryzen CPU when it launches, then you will probably be looking to get a B350 motherboard. Above you can see MSI's B350 TOMAHAWK motherboard, which will also be coming out around the same time as AMD's upcoming CPU. Unfortunately, we don't know much more for the time being but expect to see more AM4 motherboards pop up as CES goes on.

KitGuru Says: I imagine we will be seeing a lot of motherboards in the coming weeks and months as we get closer to the launch of Ryzen. Are any of you planning to upgrade? What do you think of MSI's offerings so far? The Titanium board looks particularly nice in my opinion.
B350 and X370? Sounds more like intels chipset lineup to me. Bit of a dick move from AMD to cockblock their naming scheme, next thing we know Vega GPUs will be called GTX 1180 etc to fuck up nvidias naming scheme…
For motherboard naming, they only have so many possible names and number combinations to do A, B they are buddy buddy with Intel have been since day 1(more or less and more so since last quarter as they both want Nv gone for good from the PC market)
LOL no Vega wont be called GTX anything, that is Nvidia proprietary naming has been for over a decade(when it comes to graphics cards) to do so they will get royally sued.
I hate Nv with a passion, but at least in their case, they more or less have went from similar number names from start of company to now going up by 100s/1000s(they are also a newer company compared to ATi/AMD) which does make simpler to know if you getting the newest of their products at time of purchase(but still have to be careful to get the right one, cause often enough they use moronic designs chopping back shader/tmu etc to increase their profit margin and artificially limit performance)

If you have the right skills you can pick your own salary. I’m more impressed he got a new land rover for 8752$
But are those two m.2 slots on the horrible looking white board RAIDable? If I’m going to invest in flash drives at the current prices then I may as well overkill the read/write speeds and get 2 x 256gb drives in RAID 0 rather than just the single 512gb drive at the same price.
