Ryzen 3000 Ready Chipsets Overview
With the launch of the AM4 platform in 2016, AMD made a commitment to maintain and support socket AM4 through 2020 with a single socket ranging from entry level to enthusiast class motherboards. In the below diagram you can see what AMD Chipset is Compatible with what generational processor.
For those looking to update their existing PCs with a new processor, motherboard manufacturers have BIOS updates rolling out now. AMD’s Socket AM4 has historic forwards and backwards compatibility. Many current customers will see a BIOS update to support the Ryzen 3000 series processors. Check out your motherboard vendor’s website for a list of supported processors so that you can easily identify which motherboard will support your Ryzen processor of choice. Below an overview of what chipsets are supporting what generation of processor:

Boss, I would really love to see performance difference on Ryzen 3000 series between different chipsets.
Would be really awesome to see X470 vs X570 numbers in initial Ryzen 3000 reviews.
Thank you!
I concurr. Would really love to see the comparison since I don't fancy PCIe 4.0 right now, and I honestly want to avoid a fan on my heatsink for no apparent reason.

Fan is there for a reason on the 570. You dont want your 3900x on the b450 board.

You don't know that. If you got yourself 3900x up and running, I am all open for the delicious leakz!

You are right. 3900X compatibility is not with power hungry PCIe 4.0 based chipset, it is with sufficient VRMs able to handle current spikes under different conditions and able to dissipate heat form average current which goes through them.
Chipset eats more as can be seen on increased power draw on shown PCIe 4.0 based M.2 drives.
This actually means that CPU itself will eat more in PCIe 4.0 mode than it will in 3.0 mode. So again, VRMs will have bit easier time as B450 board is unlikely to enabled for PCIe 4.0.

Side note: Most of those chipset fans are designated to work as blowers. And some of those have exhaust to M.2 drives, therefore they keep them cooler too.

I love the circles in squares.
Boss, I would really love to see performance difference on Ryzen 3000 series between different chipsets.
Would be really awesome to see X470 vs X570 numbers in initial Ryzen 3000 reviews.
I just can't justify the cost of X570 for my mere needs.
Thank you!
