AMD Announces the latest Additions to the AMD Ryzen Family of 3 processorsra For desktop generation, these are the AMD Ryzen 3 3100 and AMD Ryzen 3 3300X models, and the AMD B550 motherboard Socket AM4 chip where each builder will introduce their models.
In this post I am sharing the features of the new B550 chip5 using launch slides.
There is no doubt that AMD wants to expand its third-generation Ryzen platform with the introduction of its new chipset that combines features of enthusiasm from a base of $ 100. What does it include? PCe 4.0 for both graphics cards and NVMe type storage, and dual GPU support that we can see on high-end models (with the X470 or X570 chipset).
Each of the PCIe Slots is updated to PCIe 3.0, compared to the 400 series of motherboards. It is interesting to note AMD's announcement regarding the Ryzen 5 3400G and Ryzen 3 3200G processors is not supported.
The Availability will begin June 16, 2020.
Very interesting is this table for comparing the differences between an AMD chip. The B550 is in good condition that offers the best features of the X570, surpassing in all ways its previous generation B450.
The B550 uses USB 3.2 Gen2 support as standard models.
The most recent is a B550 build that supports a unique 20x router of PCIe 4.0 speed where 16x goes for a main video card and then the remaining 4 for standard chipset purposes, the manufacturer will be able to choose between: x4 NVMe (Gen 4), 2x SATA + 2x NVMe (Gen 4) or 2 × 2 NVMe. As for USB, it supports up to six ports with a top speed of 10Gbps, the other two 5Gbps and six 480 Mbps, that's not bad, is it?
Ultimately the manufacturer will decide how well this fix will work, whether to add multiple SATA ports, or other PCIe 3.0 Slots. It will all depend on whether or not they are aiming for the playing field. You will no doubt enjoy your motherboard.
Yes, many projects are coming to the market and you can already see some of them from ASUS, MSI, ASRock and Gigabyte. There will be many variants, so if you want to build a smaller or larger PC (ATX, miniATX, etc.) you will have many options.
In the meantime, the up-to-date models are highly regarded for their cooling systems, build quality and technical pieces. And don't forget about RGB!
Now, let's take a look at how important the compatibility problem for AMD Ryzen processors is. We already know that the X570 chipset is compatible with second-party processors (without integrated video) and third-generation Ryzen.
Well, I regret to inform you that on motherboards with the B550 only Ryzen 3000 Series processors with no integrated video (Radeon Graphics) will be compatible. Therefore, if you have or plan to purchase a Ryzen 2000 Series you will not be able to upgrade. The good thing is that it will support future Ryzen with the development of Zen 3.
Conclusion
The AMD B550 leaves an excellent impression of having higher segmentation features that require less expense but receive much better performance and efficiency. Manufacturers will offer a large number of alternatives to take advantage of each component and improve user experience. And in the future, the possibility of moving to a Zen3-based processor is guaranteed.
What yes, the bottom line is that the AMD B550 socket is only compatible with the 3000 series.
If you're still in doubt about what type of processor to choose for the B550 platform, I recommend you see the reviews I did for the AMD Ryzen 3 3100 and AMD Ryzen 3 3300X, models that are priced / priced.
