AMD Releases A520 Motherboards without PCIe gen 4

AMD Releases A520 Motherboards without PCIe gen 4

AMD yesterday released its A520 Motherboards, a bit unexpectedly. These boards give Ryzen processor users options when on a tight budget, while also offering new features over older A320 and B450 motherboards.

AMD A520 motherboards have a lot to offer with prices (that should be) below $100. Compared to last gen, better quality components, greater I/O and support for current and next-generation Ryzen CPUs and APUs, something we cannot expect base don say the A320.

A520 motherboards do not have PCIe Gen 4 support, this should not be a big problem considering that the GPUs used by users on this board, hardly saturate the PCIe Gen 3 interface. Manufacturers include a number of features as better. USB 3.1 Gen 2 ports and faster Ethernet and WiFi controllers. They also offer support for existing 3rd generation AMD Ryzen “Matisse” CPUs and “Renoir” APUs.

 

 

The AMD A520 platform will be the last of the 500-series PCH family to support next-generation Ryzen CPUs (for now Vermeer) and also Ryzen (Cezanne) APUs. Manufacturers will release BIOSes for their respective A520 boards before the release of those processors, so this motherboard can be a good choice for the future if on a tight budget.

I like the "below 100$" tag considerating that most entry level B450 and A320 are below 50$.
Also most B450 sold right now, have the same compatibility out of the box and A320 with all Ryzen 3000.
I don't think that the extra this chipset bring on the table need this 50$ extra...
Exept the price we have a complete line of good chipset this time with this 500 line.

You need a b550 or x570 for that.

Or "B550A".....which is nothing but B450 with PCIe Gen 4 enabled and only available to system builders.
