Your PCIe 4.0 is limited to GPU and SSD

Any user who wants to buy a processor Ryzen 3000 experiences the fall of motherboards. If you have a vision for the future you will need to choose the X570 to get PCIe 4.0, if you want something cheaper or for a good price / feature rating you are forced to choose B450 or less, knowing that your processor will not be able to get PCIe 4.0 at ports. is hard.

So, the B550A as a chipset was highly anticipated by users, but a jug of cold water came when its presence was only confirmed by OEMs.

AMD may not offer chipsets such as the B550A for use

The ASRock B550AM

It has been the first motherboard seen in great detail, where they have confirmed that the presence of PCIe 4.0 support, is important in the future. In addition, it has a large number of VRM categories, which is a strange thing for OEM, because as a rule this kind of product is not designed to provide excessive, arousing doubts, some as we will see it makes sense.

Apparently, the plate manufacturers offer their models and the OEMs in some cases sell them under their own name, in others they keep the name and simply attach it to their used machines.

The problem is that it's not entirely clear that this type of plate uses the B550 as such, but it can be the B450 highlighted in other models, which can eventually be supported by PCIe 4.0, which you can provide desktops with AMD order.

B450 highlighted and enabled PCIe 4.0?

In case this wasn't enough, since Gamer Nexus It is alleged that the board is the same as it was disclosed 4 months ago and that it is installed on PC Cyberpower branding machines, sold for example by Best Buy.

In addition, as confirmed by chipset and chipset the B450 copy has been renamed 47B2, where it is most notable that the chipset does not have PCIe 4.0 support. Now what's going on

Apparently, this series of chips and chipsets highlighted as B550A's B450s can actually be opened by UEFI to support PCIe 4.0 on the first PCIe X16 slot and provide 4 lines of PCIe 4.0 for NVMe M.2 SSD.

Logically, in the wake of the controversy that arose following the denial of this feature for all users who can choose to enable PCIe 4.0 on their B450 boards, this AMD gaming may not be heard in public.

If AMD finally opened its hand to offer the B550A in the regular consumer market, this would not be a good answer, since Lisa Su would look at the Motherboard on the motherboard per manufacturer if their B450 models (at least) could really support PCIe 4.0 in the lineup your.

This style split will be beneficial to many and those who can't choose it won't be able to complain, because their license plate is guaranteed PCIe 3.0, but then do they sell the same price for the X570?

Perhaps these are justifications for not accepting the B550A as such on the market, even if it was a B450 highlighted with PCIe 4.0, or maybe it was the manufacturers themselves that weren't necessary after being introduced to the X&70 R&D …
