AMD's B550 motherboards go on sale in the UK today, and Asus have a great cashback deal to go with it

AMD’s new B550 motherboards for their 3rd Gen Ryzen CPUS finally go on sale in the UK today, with prices starting from £135 in a range of form factors. The B550 chipset is the long-awaited successor to AMD’s mid-range B450 boards, and is one of the only chipsets guaranteed to offer future built-in support for AMD’s next generation of Zen 3 CPUs (the other being the super expensive X570 boards). Of course, £135 is still pretty steep compared to the cost of older B450 boards, many of which can be had for as little as £55 these days, but the good news is that Asus have just announced a nifty cashback offer to help make the transition a little easier for early upgraders, with up to £100 back in your pocket if you buy a ROG or TUF B550 board with an eligible Ryzen CPU.
