Why are motherboards cheaper than GPU’s and CPU’s etc?

684 views

Title says it pretty much, I’m not new to building PC’s and stuff like that, but I was browsing parts today and was wondering why motherboards, a pretty large piece of tech that’s responsible for a lot of different tasks, are usually so much more cheap than the GPU or CPU even RAM sometimes, a much smaller part. Just curious, thanks for any info.

Motherboards are the stuff that connects everything else. They don’t *do* a lot compared to the other parts and are not nearly as complex/requiring as many tiny or complex components. Sure, they’re *wide*, but so is a sheet of paper compared to an iPhone.
