Russia has started to develop their first domestic AMD B450 motherboard. GS Group Holding and Philax plans to release around 40,000 to the Russian market. When you look at the picture, you might think it looks familiar as that is because the design is based on ASRock’s B450M Pro4 Motherboard.
Taken from Tom’s Hardware… GS Group Holding and Philax have started manufacturing Russia’s first domestically-produced B450 motherboard. Philax plans to release at least 40,000 motherboards to the Russian market.
Philax specifically chose the B450M Pro4 because of the possibility to add a TPM module, which is important for government agencies. GS Group Holding and Philax’s partnership doesn’t just stop with motherboards, though. The duo also has plans to produce up to 50,000 monitors. There’s also an 18-month project to develop and produce motherboards for Russia’s homemade Elbrus and Baikal processors.
Avid enthusiasts will probably find Philax’s B450 motherboard very familiar. That’s because the design is based on ASRock’s B450M Pro4. Philax and ASRock probably reached an agreement for the latter to use the design, probably under a licensing agreement of some sort. Obviously, Philax’s rendition doesn’t carry the ASRock brand. In fact, it doesn’t even sport the model name.
