the articles says PCB are set to rise 50% but the post title says mobo prices are going to rise 50%-- which is it? those are vastly different things

[–] adarza@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago

it appears to be both.

According to the report, prices for PCBs used in consumer motherboards are expected to rise by at least 50% during 2026. Costs for copper, surface-mount capacitors, power components and supporting controller chips have also increased.

Isn't a motherboard just a large PCB with sockets?

maybe i'm getting my terminology bass ackwards, but i thought PCB meant just the platform with connections between contact points, hence printed circuit board, while a motherboard is a PCB with all the components, integrated shit (BIOS, onboard graphics/audio, wifi, etc.) soldered on and ready to build

It's a situation where all MOBOs are PCBs, but not all PCBs are MOBOs.
