Good news for users on a budget looking to make the jump to Ryzen 7000 with an A620 chipset motherboard, the cheapest gateway to AMD’s new generation of chips. At this point, we must remember that the company’s proposal for AM5 chips is that they necessarily share the banner with PCIe 5 and DDR5, which is inevitably it increases the final cost of building a team based on this architecture.

However, as we can read in the Wccfts, AMD and its partners finally announced the arrival of the long-awaited A620 chipset motherboards for AM5and we won’t have to wait long for it either, because hand in hand with this communication, the main manufacturers have already revealed their motherboard models that will fit this new chipset, and although there are still no official prices, everything indicates that they will be moving in the United States around $100, which is something we expect here to translate to between €100 and €120.

We have known about this chipset for quite some time, when it was announced by AMD in June last year and since then we have been waiting for the arrival of the first motherboards that had it. A leak in January gave us a preview of GIGABYTE’s models, and just a few days ago, ASRock pre-empted the official A620 launch announcement by introducing its ASRock A620M-HDV/M.2, the first motherboard. with the A620 chipset to hit the market.

Now, with the official confirmation of the debut of this new platform, the cheapest to switch to AM5, the offer has increased substantially, as several manufacturers have already announced their boards with this new chipset. We will review them below.

ASRock

The day before yesterday we heard about a board with the A620 chipset, but today we learned that the company has actually released at least four motherboards, the A620M Pro RS WIFI, A620M Pro RS, A620M-HDV/M.2+ and A620M-HDV /M .2. The first two motherboards allow the use of four DIMMs, while the last two are limited to two.

ASUS

ASUS has three motherboards with the AMD A620 chipset, they are TUF Gaming A620M-PLUS WIFI, TUF Gaming A620M-PLUS and PRIME A620M-A-CSM. All three motherboards have a 4 DIMM design.

Biostar

Biostar also announced its motherboard A620MP-E Pro which comes with a 10-phase design and supports up to 128 GB of DDR5 memory with EXPO clocks of up to 6000 Mbps.

GIGABYTE

Gigabyte has two motherboards, A620M Gaming X AX and A620M Gaming X Both are dual DIMM and EXPO compatible (up to DDR5-6400).

M: YES

This brand announced For A620M-E which features a dual DIMM design and which it also supports DDR5 EXPO memory overclocking.

Recall that the two main limitations of the A620 chipset, if we compare it to its “big brothers”, are that the A620 only supports PCIe 4.0, while the B650 supports PCIe 5.0, and that it does not have USB 3.2 Gen 2× 2, only USB 3.2 Gen 2 ×1. Two limitations that don’t really have a major impact on the market segment these boards are aimed at, so it won’t be a problem for their users.
