According to the information received by our colleagues from VideoCardz, 26 models of GIGABYTE motherboards were evaluated by the Eurasian Economic Commission. And 11 of them turned out to be based on the not yet released AMD B550 system logic set:

  • B550 AORUS MASTER
  • B550 AORUS ELITE
  • B550 AORUS PRO AC
  • B550 AORUS PRO AX
  • B550 AORUS PRO
  • B550M AORUS PRO
  • B550 GAMING X
  • B550M GAMING
  • B550M DS3H
  • B550M H
  • B550M S2H

According to the available information, the B550 chipset will bring PCIe 4.0 support to the middle segment, and motherboards based on it will be released at a significantly lower price than motherboards based on X570.

In addition, the fact that the devices have already been evaluated by the EEC tells us about a fairly early release. Most likely, the wait for the “motherboard” on AMD B550 is not long at all, and already in early spring, AMD partner companies will burst out with dozens of unique solutions.

Further more interesting, because the remaining 15 motherboard models belong to the latest Intel LGA 1200 platform and they are based on Intel Z490 and W480 chipsets:

  • Z490 AORUS EXTREME WATERFORCE
  • Z490 AORUS EXTREME
  • Z490 AORUS ELITE
  • Z490 AORUS ULTRA-GU
  • Z490I AORUS ULTRA
  • Z490 AORUS PRO
  • Z490 DESIGNARE
  • Z490 GAMING X
  • Z490 VISION G
  • Z490 VISION D
  • W480 VISION D
  • Z490 UD
  • Z490 D
  • Z490M DS3H
  • Z490 UD AC

All 15 of the aforementioned LGA 1200-compatible motherboards based on the Z490 and W480 chipsets should go on sale alongside Intel’s Comet Lake processors this spring.
