A motherboard is a printed circuit board or a PCB that creates the skeletal structure of a PC. It hosts components such as the Processor or CPU, graphics processing unit or GPU, Memory Module, or RAM, and storage. Motherboard Ensures communication between all these different components and contains some vital sub-systems such as I/O points, memory controllers, interface connectors, etc. Back in the old day’s motherboards used printed circuit boards in a card-cage and the case was connected with components by a back panel with a set of interconnected physical sockets. After the invention of the microprocessors motherboards evolved drastically. Even though CPU, memory, and peripherals were using individually printed circuit boards at that time. In the late 1980s to 90s, motherboards became a cost-effective option for a good number of peripheral because of the use of single ICs with low-speed peripherals. Motherboards were made with serial and parallel ports including audio, video, storage, and networking functions. Today most modern devices like smartphones, tablets, laptops, and desktop computers use these compact motherboards to put everything together.

Motherboard for Intel Processor
If you want a motherboard for your desired Intel processor then there are many options to choose from. Different Intel processors support various Sockets and chipsets. The 4th and the 5th Generation of Intel processors support LGA 1155 and LGA 1150 CPU Sockets and the H81, B85, Q85, Q87, H87, and Z87 chipsets. All the 14 nm Intel processors from the 6th Gen Skylake Processors till the 9th generation Coffee lake Refresh Processors support the LGA 1151 CPU Sockets and the H110, B150, Q150, H170, Q170, and Z170 lineup of Chipsets. All of these chipsets except the Z170s cannot be overclocked without a GPU.
The Intel 12th Gen, 13th Gen and the all-new 14th Gen Processors support LGA 1700 CPU sockets for the Intel 600 and 700 series of motherboards. They support the latest DDR5 RAM modules and technologies like HEVC, HDR, and VP9 10-bit encoding alongside Hi-speed USB 3.0 ports and DDR4 RAM slots.
Motherboard for AMD Processor
AMD Processors utilize a socket type called the PGA. The most common AMD Processor sockets are called the AM4 Socket, TRX4 CPU sockets, and sWRX8 Sockets. The latest AMD Processors have backward compatibility with the older AM2 and the FM2 Plus Sockets. The AM4 Socket type is compatible with most AMD Processors, entry-level Athlon APUs, and the latest Ryzen processors. The TR4X socket is used by the high-end Ryzen Threadripper CPU series. These can host high-performance multicore CPUs with larger, cache, and more PCI-E lanes making them ideal for a Gaming PC. The third type of AMD CPU socket is sWRX8, used by the Ryzen Threadripper PRO CPU series. These are ultra-powerful high-end CPUs with Energy-efficient cores, ECC RAM, and PCIe lanes.
Factors to Consider Before Choosing a Motherboard
Whether you are choosing a motherboard for an Intel or an AMD PC there are some common factors to consider. The Motherboards can be mounted on Small towers, Mid-Tower, or Full Tower casing whether it’s an ATX, Micro-ATX, Mini-ATX, or ITX board. PCIe is the component connection port used by motherboards. The newest standard is PCIe 3.0 and 4.0. with x1, x4, x8, and x16 slots. Many motherboards have advanced features like integrated WiFi. RAMs are plugged into a motherboard via a rectangular slot called the dual in-line memory module (DIMM). The number of DIMM slots commonly varies from two to eight slots. The supported capacity for RAM ranges from 2GB up to 64GB DIMMs. Motherboards support a hard disk drive (HDD) with spinning platters and solid-state drives (SSD) with NAND flash memory for storage. HDDs are available in 3.5 and 2.5-inch sizes. Motherboards use SATA 3.0. Ports, NVM Express(NVMe) M.2 for storage. These ports have around 600MBps reading and write speeds for SATA SSDs and around 250MBps read and write for regular SATA HDDs with increased bandwidth, and lower latency.
