How much more expensive are Intel motherboards though?

[BeefWellington]

Intel boards baseline around $80[1] and AMD boards around $50[2].

For Intel, those are the cheapest of the cheap boards with the very limited H610 chipset. If you want something acceptable you will pay a lot more. AMD on the other hand has cheap good option with B550 or even B450.

DDR4 boards are in the same ballpark as AMD.
