It was very consistent with the MSI B350 TOMAHAWK delivering the same performance out of the MSI X370 XPOWER GAMING TITANIUM while in some benchmarks the B350 board ended up being a little bit faster than the X370. But there wasn't cases of the X370 board coming out noticeably ahead of the B350. Explore more via this OpenBenchmarking.org result file.

I'll have more tests of this board as BIOS updates are pushed out to Ryzen motherboards and the AMD Zen Linux support continues to mature. Ryzen motherboards remain in short supply but the B350 TOMAHAWK can be pre-ordered from Amazon and NewEgg for $109.99.
