AMD A620 motherboards to get very affordable? Two chipsets planned

AMD A620 motherboards have recently surfaced in an EEC filing, there is currently no information on when these models will become available for purchase. The A620 series is expected to have limited support for the newer PCIe Gen5 standard and disabled overclocking features. 



HKEPC anticipates the release of A620 motherboards featuring either the Promontory 21 module previously utilized in the B650/X670 series, or the unmentioned Promontory 22 chipset. The Promontory 22 chipset will have the same specifications as the A620 chipset when it becomes available in the future. PROM21 and PROM22 are anticipated to have comparable capabilities, although the A620, the most basic chipset in the 600-series, will not necessitate a sophisticated design like the high-end boards. This affords AMD the opportunity to eliminate any unnecessary chipset features in a future revision.

The release of this more affordable motherboard series could assist AMD in realizing its goal of a $125 starting price for AM5 motherboards. Currently, the cheapest B650 motherboards are priced at $160, which some users may consider to be expensive. In addition, the AM5 platform requires DDR5 memory, which, despite becoming more inexpensive, remains a more expensive investment than AM4/DDR4 memory.
