New motherboards compatible with Ryzen9000 of AMD They will experience many changes, but one of those that will perhaps catch our attention the most is the new nomenclature that the chipsets that they use, and instead of being the 700 series, they will be part of the series 800. This change may confuse a lot of people given that the change ends up practically skipping an entire generation of chipsets, but in the long run it could be even better.
Every time we see a generational leap we can worry about the problems that a change in nomenclature can cause, mainly seeing how one of the series that should exist is completely lost, and in this case AMD has excluded the name of the 700 series of its chipsets. There are several speculations as to why the company sought to make this change, but at this time we do not know the real reason why the company wanted to make this type of change.
A change that competes even more with Intel
When we talk about competitiveness in the hardware market, the one that we must highlight the most is that between Intel and AMD, two rival companies for a long time, and that every time they launch a new technology they look for a way to distance themselves -the maximum number of customers at your competitor. This is why we have seen changes in the different nomenclatures of their products to try to indicate the power and version in a simple way, greatly simplifying the way for users to identify each of the elements.
In the case of motherboards, this might seem a bit strange given that the chipsets from Intel and AMD They had different nomenclatures, so many users might have been confused and thought the AMD ones were an inferior version to the ones offered by Intel. This is one of the speculations why it is believed that AMD sought to have this name changed, giving users a much easier way to identify the most recent model, thus equating it with the generation of chipsets used by Intel, so now all motherboards. from both companies will have versions called 800.
The quest to simplify things could make them more complicated
We can think from the beginning that these changes can be good, and in the future they will really simplify things a lot when it comes to comparing motherboards compatible with the processors of each of the companies, but at the beginning it can be difficult to get used to. Ultimately, this change, as we stated previously, may cause a lost generation to exist, as moving from the 600 series to the 800 series without following an order creates a void that may confuse many people .
But ultimately it’s a matter of getting used to it, so the confusion should really only be created in the first few months, making it much easier to differentiate the next generations of AMD from Intel when we get used to seeing this nomenclature more. .
Here are the versions we expect in upcoming AMD motherboards:
- X870(E) – High range
- B850(E) – Medium range
- A820 – Entry range
