AMD has a secret weapon
AMD has a secret weapon to encourage you to buy its Ryzen 7000.
The Ryzen 7000 CPUs represent a major improvement over the previous generation, both in terms of IPC and platform integration. However, this most recent advancement has also become a huge issue, because in order to access this new platform, a new motherboard and a DDR5 memory kit are required.
When we combine both keys, it is evident that in order to mount a Ryzen 7000 CPU, we must make a large expenditure, which is out of reach for many people, especially given the current economic situation.
AMD is preparing the debut of the A620 chipset, a solution that will allow the arrival of motherboards with a starting price of around 100 dollars, to better this reality and democratizes access to the AM5 platform.
Indeed, recent evidence has shown that AMD has an ace up its sleeve, a secret weapon with which it expects to deliver an even larger boost to its AM5 platform and the Ryzen 7000. We referring to a version of the A620 chipset that would utilize the Promontory 22 module, lowering the price of these new motherboards even further.
If this is confirmed, it would be excellent, because mounting a Ryzen 5 7600X or even a Ryzen 7 7700X does not necessitate a complicated motherboard design or an expensive VRM.
The first A620 chipset motherboards have not yet been confirmed, but they have shown on several EEC listings, indicating that they exist and that their delivery is simply a matter of time. It will be interesting to see what the major motherboard makers provide us, as well as the rates they eventually charge.
We believe that an A620 motherboard priced between 90 and 100 dollars would be a fantastic treat for mounting a Ryzen 5 7600 and that it would wind up playing a critical part in promoting Ryzen 7000 sales in general.
We'd like to remind you that the A620 motherboards will have fewer specs than the B650, as well as a lesser degree of benefits. Expect neither PCIe Gen5 connectivity nor CPU overclocking support.
However, overclocking the memory should be allowed; otherwise, it would be like shooting yourself in the foot, especially given the influence RAM speed has on Ryzen 7000 processors.
