Asus and Gigabyte are two of the main brands that started to launch motherboards with AMD A620 chipset based on socket AM5 of the latest generation Ryzen 7000 processors. In the case of Asus, they are the TUF Gaming A620M-Plus WiFi and Prime A620M-A, scheduled for April, while Gigabyte showed its basic A620 model, already available on the market.
Bundles include options for DDR5 memory, AMD EXPO technology, one-click memory overclocking, and up to 32 PCIe 4.0 lanes to meet the needs of home users and professionals alike. It’s worth noting that the B650 chipsets have up to 36 PCIe lanes, while the top-end X670s have 44. Other differences are seen in the total number of USB and SATA ports.
TUF Gaming A620M-Plus WiFi and Prime A620M-A feature a single PCIe 4.0 x16 expansion slot connected directly to the Ryzen 7000 chip. The remaining two PCIe 3.0 x1 expansion slots are for the A620 chipset. TUF Gaming A620M-Plus WiFi provides two DisplayPort 1.4 outputs and a single HDMI 2.1 port for consumers who won’t be using a discrete graphics card. Prime A620M-A, on the other hand, has one less DisplayPort in exchange for a regular VGA port.
As for Gigabyte’s model, it can achieve optimal memory performance from DDR5 EXPO/XMP overclocking up to DDR5-6400, which exerts the maximum value and performance of the AM5 platform.
The suggested retail price for the TUF Gaming A620M-Plus WiFi and Prime A620M-A from the European press release is €169 (R$930) and €139 (R$764) respectively. Meanwhile, the TUF Gaming A620M-Plus retails for €149.
