Kicking off another earnings season for the tech industry, we once again have Intel, who is reporting their financial results for the second quarter of the year.

Despite B550 being a cost-down version of X570 for the budget market, motherboard manufacturers have gone a little overboard in offering over 50 different models to consumers, ranging in price between $120 and $300+.

Over the last decade we've placed as much benchmark data as we can in there for every sample we can get our hands on. As the CPU editor, one of my duties is to maintain the CPU part of Bench, making sure the benchmarks are relevant and the newest components are tested.
