While there is definitely no shortage of AMD Fusion mini-ITX motherboard models from which to choose at this time, there's no denying the fact that some of these solutions can sport a pretty hefty price tag, so Sapphire has designed the Pure White Fusion, an E-350 board which retails for just €83.

Although Sapphire's mainboard is called the Pure White this features an almost all-black design, similar to that used by the Pure White Mini.

Otherwise, this looks pretty much like your run-of-the-mill E-350 board as it features dual DDR3 full-length memory slots, a PCI Express x16 slot (which has only four PCIe lanes routed to it), and four SATA 6Gbps ports.

The E-350 Fusion chip, that is used to power the Sapphire Pure White, is AMD's fastest APU to date and it packs dual Bobcat cores clocked at 1.6GHz and a Radeon HD 6310 integrated GPU which works at 500MHz.

In addition, the HD 6310 also features the UVD3 engine, that AMD introduced in the Radeon HD 6800 series, making the graphics capable of handling 1080p content in various formats while also adding Adobe Flash acceleration to the mix.

Moving to the back of the board, we see that Sapphire installed four external USB 2.0 ports, Gigabit Ethernet, VGA, DVI and HDMI video outputs as well as 5.1-channel audio.

Sadly, we don't get support for USB 3.0, eSATA, or any sort of S/PDIF output.

As mentioned earlier, the Sapphire Pure White Fusion is available right now across Europe for as low as €83.50.

This makes it just as cheap as the ASRock E350M1, but ASRock's motherboard also features a 7.1-channel audio with digital S/PDIF, an eSATA port, a PS/2 port as well as two additional USB 2.0 connectors. (via Fudzilla)
