The motherboard is one of the main components of our computer and, unfortunately, it is usually also one in which people tend to skimp on expenses, spending a fortune on a processor, RAM, NVMe units, a top graphic of range and leaving the plate as a less important component, this is how bottlenecks begin to be born. Depending on the type of components that we are going to assemble and our full budget we must choose a base plate or another to not spend more money from the account and not be able to have performance problems. So, if we are setting up a mid-range computer and we do not intend to overclock it, we have a great choice on the  Aorus B360 GAMING 3 WIFI board.

The Intel Core i3-8121U is part of the new processors that will be manufactured using the troublesome 10nm node that Intel has been developing these years ago. It seemed that they were reluctant to go to the market, but we can already see that Intel has solved the manufacturing problems for the 10 nm node.

The motherboard manufacturer ASRock has just presented its first gaming motherboard, in mini ITX format, for the AMD X470 chipset. The new ASRock Fatal1ty X470 Gaming-ITX / ac is a very compact motherboard but it has all the necessary additions to make it a good model for that segment of small computers. With the processors with Bulldozer core, few were the brands that dared with the segment of gaming motherboards in mini ITX format. Something that, on the other hand, we consider quite logical, if we consider that the performance in games of these processors, was far from being spectacular. In those years, the brand that “split the cod” was Intel, and for its processors yes that many motherboards came out in this format.
