The design of the released motherboards hasn't changed from the original variants. The only visible difference is the white PCB with components like VRM heatsink colored white. It is, however, surprising to see that the RAM DIMM slots on all three models are black; hence one could argue that it compromises the "white" theme. However, it is good to see white motherboards getting released at lower prices compared to the offerings available in the market.

While the company hasn't disclosed a release date or revealed the pricing, you could expect a price bump from the original variants. The Intel H610 and B550M series will especially be found around a $100-$150 US price point while the B760M should be around the upper limit. Expect more info on the motherboards soon.
