GIGABYTE B650, democratizing access to Ryzen 7000

A little over a month has passed since the highly anticipated presentation of the Ryzen 7000, the new generation of AMD processors that, as you know, arrived on the market a few days ago, and of which we have been able to test the Ryzen 9 models 7900X and Ryzen 5 7600X which, as you can see, They left us with a very, very good taste in our mouths. and looking forward to being able to face them against the already very close Raptor Lake, when the arrival of the new generation of processors from both manufacturers is completed.

It does happen, however, that in this jump to a new architecture, users who wish to adopt it they must make an investment not only in the processoralso in other components, such as a motherboard and, if they did not previously have it, in this case also in DDR5 RAM, well remember that it is the only type of memory compatible with the Ryzen 7000. And depending on which cases, on all in the first moments, it is not always possible to have the most suitable options.

In the case of Ryzen 7000, as we already told you at the time, There are three chipsets for the new AMD platform: X670E, X670 and B650. In the case of the first, the E comes from Extreme, which no longer makes its market segment clear, which is none other than the top of the range, in which maximum performance is everything. X670, for its part, is aimed at the high range, and B650 is aimed at the large consumer market, at the mid-range, which wants to take advantage of the virtues of the new generation, but which seeks a balance between moderate costs and a good performance.

What happens is that, together with the sale of the first processors, The first boards with X670 and X670E chipsets arrivedwhich make perfect sense for users who have opted for a Ryzen 9 7950X or 7900X, but could unbalance the budget of a user who wants to build a mid-range system with a Ryzen 5 7600X, in which case the price of the motherboard can equal or exceed that of the processor.

If this has been your case, the more than good news is that GIGABYTE, which already has a wide range of high-end motherboards for Ryzen 7000, has already presented its motherboards with chipset B650an offer made up of no less than eight motherboards, seven of them from the AORUS family, and an eighth within AERO, and in three variants on the same chipset:

  • B650E: the top of the range within this family. It offers PCIe 5.0 support for storage and graphics.
  • B650: the standard within this family of chipset,. It offers PCIe 4.0 support for storage and graphics, and optionally 5.0 for storage.
  • B5650M: similar to the previous ones, but in MicroATX format.
