Abit unveiled the AB-B760ITX, a DIY retail segment Mini-ITX motherboard based on Intel Socket LGA1700, and B760 chipset. The board comes in two variants based on PCB color—black and white. It uses a conventional power input configuration of 24-pin ATX and 8-pin EPS, with a 10-phase VRM conditioning it for the processor. The LGA1700 processor is wired to two DDR4 memory slots for up to 64 GB of dual-channel DDR4-4000 memory; and an M.2 NVMe Gen 4 slot. The main PCIe interface is PCI_Express 5.0 x16. Connectivity includes 6-channel HD audio, Wi-Fi 6E + Bluetooth 5.2 WLAN, 2.5 GbE wired LAN, and four USB 3.2 ports. Display outputs include a pair of HDMI and one DisplayPort. Besides the M.2 slot, you get four SATA 6 Gbps ports. Abit is pricing these boards at RMB ¥599 (USD $84).

If it feels like you've seen a ghost, it's because Abit withdrew from the DIY PC component space around 2012, after fulfilling its support obligations for the last of its products shipped in 2008. Since then, the brand has been held by Universal Scientific Industrial, a mainland Chinese company that took it over from the original Taiwan-based Abit Computer.

TheoneandonlyMrKNoice, ABIT where have you been.
Not the same Abit. ABIT Computer Corporation closed in 2008/09 - this company here is Universal Abit Co. LTD - They are owned by USi (Universal Scientific Industrial) - a China based company. very little in common with the old brand that was established in Taiwan.

It's the same trademark though, which is odd even as of itself. USI claimed they were done with Universal abit motherboards and closed that down completely in 2009. I wonder why they reopened it? Quite the aboutface.

It's a brand the west knows and will likely make selling them easier.
For its new Chinese owners.

Shame, ah well bye again Abit.

My point is it's been that since 2009, when the Chinese owners closed it the first time.

I understand your point, it is odd, perhaps a cool down period.
Move beyond any warranty limit's?.

Perhaps only now do they have a viable product?.

It is wierd, why shelve it soo long?.

Make sure you read reviews etc before buying, anyone with the opportunity that is.

Maybe because motherboard prices skyrocketed and maybe they can see some nice profit margins in that business?

Old motherboards had myriads of extra component on them and costed peanuts. Today modern motherboards are mostly empty PCB and cost twice or more compared to the past.

Yep. Original design team probably all over the place. I was looking at supermicro consumer boards but have nothing in amd.

Best mother boards I ever owned. I built at least 35 work stations using abit years ago. Good to see them back! I might buy a white pcb, that's pretty rare.
