AMD’s Ryzen 7000 Raphael Series are built on the all-new AM5 platform with an efficient overclocking feature. The hype originated at the Computex keynote and points to a very high-priced motherboard. But recent reports might suggest something else.
Twitter user @Moore’s Law Is Dead claims chipset(s) included in the motherboards will not be the deciding factor for the eventual pricing.
The two Promontory 21 chips in the AMD X670 will be cheaper than the solo X570 chipset.
This information checks out as the AM5 platform is exhibited to be budget-friendly.
Hence, the B650 series, which utilizes a single X670 chipset, might cost less than the AM4-based B550 motherboard. This is without taking into consideration the DDR5 VRAM and AV support.
Specifics about the A620 chip have not been disclosed, but you can expect a lower value as it is targeted for the low-end market segment.
The user also posted the rumored prices for the AMD 600 series-based motherboards. There are options ranging from high-end to more pocket-friendly models, something for everyone.
Fans are most excited about the debuting AM5 ecosystem interface; it will support 24 PCIe Gen5 ports. The series will feature HDMI 2.1, DP 2.0, and USB 4.
AMD Ryzen 7000 Desktop lineup will begin launching by August this year. The AMD 600-series chipsets can be expected around the same time.
