AMD A620 motherboards lack PCIe Gen5 support but can overclock RAM

https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-a620-motherboards-lack-pcie-gen5-support-but-can-overclock-ram

AMD continues to miss the mark imo. B650 should have been the A620, X670 should have been B650E and if they wanted to keep X670E, then so be it. Instead they now have A620, B650, B650E, X670, X670E of which only B650E and X670E are worth upgrading to.

I don't really agree with you. There should have been only one B650 and X670 configurations, with the features of the E parts but with the prices of the non-E mobos. And then, these A620 parts for the very low end.

But well, we don't know how much of the price of these cards is because the chipsets are very expensive and how much is due to the mobo partners applying an extra cost because they thought the parts would fly off the shelves. After all, given what we saw them doing with GPU prices during the latest mining boom, it's clear that they'd have no problems raising the prices all they could to raise their profits even more (which is their job, mind you, but everything has a limit that they seem to be too eager to cross whenever possible).

Vcache pricing


Releasing Feb 28th. 7800X3D on April 6th.

Well, the 7800X3D is $50 more than the original price of the 5800X3D, which isn't great, but it's also launching a lot earlier in the cycle of these zen4 processors.

I agree with hinch, tho, that CPU being more expensive than the 7900 is surprising, and it will be interesting to see in which direction the consumers move, either more cores for productivity or better gaming results.

In any case, I was hoping for them to be a bit cheaper to bring down the price of the other 7700 and also 7600 parts, and also the 13600K, so I'd have more options for my new PC in my budged, but it looks like that won't happen.



Please excuse my bad English.
