Our next stop at CES 2023 was MSI’s huge ballroom. Here we saw almost everything they had to offer. From laptops to monitors to keyboards and graphics cards, they had something to show off in almost every category. While we won’t cover everything here, we will show some highlights of the PCIe 5.0 storage (Spatium M570/M570 Pro), GK71 keyboard with Blue switches, Titan, Raider, and Stealth laptops, and more.
Also on the floor were the new PCIe 5.0 power supplies from the MEG line, the Prospect 100R chassis with a touch screen on top, and a hinged glass panel.

You can read all the details on the MSI website and product pages for the hardware, but here’s a direct link to their CES 2023 details.
Joe started writing around 2010 for Overclockers.com covering the latest news and reviews that include video cards, motherboards, storage and processors. In 2018, he went ‘pro’ writing for Anandtech.com covering news and motherboards. Eventually, he landed at Tom’s Hardware where he wrote news, covered graphic card reviews, and currently writes motherboard reviews. If you can’t find him benchmarking and gathering data, Joe can be found working on his website (Overclockers.com), supporting his two kids in athletics, hanging out with his wife catching up on Game of Thrones, watching sports (Go Browns/Guardians/Cavs/Buckeyes!), or playing PUBG on PC.
Bringing in the tail-end of the newest AMD CPUs we have the Ryzen 3 lineup. This is AMD’s offering for the budget-minded PC user. Today we’ll be looking at the two quad-core offerings, the 1200 and 1300X. The 1300X has the XFR technology we’ve seen from the Ryzen 7 1800X, 1700X, and Ryzen 5 1500X/1600X allowing for boost speeds over their typical max. The 1200 is locked to its listed speeds, unless you’re overclocking. One major difference from the Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 7 CPUs is the exclusion of Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT) from the Ryzen 3 processors. While this does mean a performance hit for multithreaded applications, it also cuts the cost of the product making it accessible to more users. Let’s take a closer look at the lineup now.
Stopping by the Gigabyte booth, we ran into several items including graphics cards and the new 4070 Ti, The Z790 Tachyon for Intel chips, the Stealth 500 DIY PC kit, M5 Gaming mouse, Aorus 15x/17X laptops and other Aero-based laptops with OLED screens designed for the creator. We also ran into their unreleased PCIe 5.0 SSD with speeds reaching up to a whopping 12,000 MB/s reads and 10,000 MB/s writes and capacity up to 4GB.
As we know, Intel has an upcoming chipset release on the horizon and with this new lineup inevitably comes some new boards from their partners. You may have already seen the ASUS lineup that Lvcoyote posted and I am here to show you the board I have in hand… the MSI MPower MAX AC. At this time the preview will really be at a very high level as the official release date is a bit into the future, but it should still be enough to get you thinking about making your next motherboard purchase based around Intel’s future chipset. On to the board!!!
Yes, looking at the new logo, I have only one question "why?".
I feel like MSI is working much more on expanding its product portfolio than improving motherboards or graphics cards. They improve monitors, laptops, and everything else, while motherboards and graphics cards are somehow pretty average recently.
Could it be that average motherboards and graphics cards sell the most and are most profitable?
I agree tho. My 3080 Gaming X Trio wasn't anything special and was loud. For $760 I expected a cooling system that didn't scream during games. Replacing that card ended the excess noise.

By far. The flagships and Halos don't sell a ton... the mid-range and budget tends to, absolutely.

That's weird. Testing shows them as one of the quieter around...maybe it was a tone, or you're on the cooler BIOS? Not sure, but it tested well at TPU, especially on the silent BIOS.
It is down and my mic is right next to my mouth to make sure I get picked up. I even had the PC to my left so the the noise was directed away from me. And my case has sound proofing everywhere.
