Current mainboards, which also have the
AM4 socket
use are the models of
500 chipset series
. These are available in different lavish configurations. motherboards with
X570 chipset
are among the top models and are characterized by particularly high connectivity, such as the fourth-generation PCI Express standard. Another good performance are the models with
B550 chipset
available while motherboards with
A520 chipset
offer as a price-conscious entry.
A selection of products is available HERE.
It becomes clear: The current range is more diverse than ever, powerful and yet quite affordable. Mainboards are often included
AM4 socket
even already in the in-house PC systems, so that no further investment is necessary in this direction. So now is the best time to upgrade!
