The B550 and A520 chipsets would power budget and entry-tier motherboards and would be outsourced to ASMedia rather than developed by AMD themselves as in the case of the X570 chipset. > The two chipsets that would be produced include the budget tier B550 and the entry-tier A520. The AMD Ryzen platform currently features the X570 chipset based AM4 motherboards which come in at a much higher price due to their high-end / enthusiast positioning. We have seen a significant price hike for X570 tier motherboards compared to X470 and X370 and while motherboard makers are targetting the sub $200 US market aggressively with their new X570 designs, there's still a large market under the $150 US that needs to be covered.
