The AM4 chipset lineup looks like pretty sensible stuff from AMD. There's little radical, but neither is there anything which is setting off any alarm bells in my tiny little mind.

The chipset is connected to the AM4 chip by a PCIe 3.0 x4 link and outputs 6 PCIe 2.0 lanes. The chipset also puts out 2x USB 3.1 G2 ports, 6x USB 3.1 G1 ports, and 6x SATA 6 Gbps ports.

Only some of AMD’s chipsets will support the latest Zen 3 CPU architecture, AMD said. As most know, AM4 represents the physical socket for the current Ryzen processors, and it has remained in ...

The AMD A520 sits between the A320 and the B550 chipset. It supports x16 PCIe 3.0 express lanes with support for a single USB 3.2 Gen2 and four SuperSpeed USBs when used with a third-gen Ryzen ...

Given these limitations, and the unprecedented longevity of the AM4 socket, there will inevitably be a time and place where a transition to free up space is necessary—the AMD 500 Series chipsets ...

And then there’s AM1, the socket for AMD’s most basic processors. In comparison, the next generation of Zen CPUs and APUs will all use just one chipset, with one common socket called AM4.

For the last two generations of AM4 motherboards, led by the X370 and X470 chipsets, AMD has relied on ASMedia, a Taiwanese tech company, to produce the motherboard PCH.

When AMD launched the Zen architecture and the first generation of Ryzen processors, AMD pledged to support the AM4 socket through 2020. This was in stark contrast to Intel's heavily fragmented ...

AMD's X870 & X870E Chipsets: USB4, Expanded PCIe 5.0 Support at Last AMD has two new chipsets to support the Ryzen 9000 processor line. Skipping past the potential 700-series of chipsets, AMD has ...

AMD will be hosting its Computex 2022 keynote in a few hours time, where we should be introduced to the Zen 4-based Ryzen 7000 series CPUs, X670E/X670/B650 chipsets, and "Mendocino" APUs for laptops.
