Slightly forward of its launch, ASUS flashed a banner of its AMD B550 chipset motherboard lineup, revealing two different boards than the premium ROG Strix B550-E Gaming AMD unveiled in its platform unveil. These embrace an unnamed micro-ATX board slotted within the TUF Gaming collection, and a entry-level Prime B550M-A micro-ATX board. The Prime board has our consideration as its spartan structure might point out that there’ll certainly be socket AM4 boards based mostly on the B550 beginning at $100, as AMD promised. The B550 has a definite benefit over the B450 within the type of PCI-Express gen 4.zero for the principle PEG and not less than one M.2 NVMe slots; and a neater improve path towards 4th gen Ryzen “Vermeer” and “Renoir,” than AMD’s 400-series chipsets have.
