List of upcoming AMD B550 and Intel Z490/W480 motherboards leaked online

According to information obtained by our colleagues at VideoCardz, 26 GIGABYTE motherboard models have been assessed by the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC). Notably, 11 of these spotted boards are based on the yet-to-be-released AMD B550 chipset:

⤢ ВІДКРИТИ

• 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

Current information suggests the B550 chipset will bring PCIe 4.0 support to the mainstream segment, with motherboards based on it selling at a significantly lower price than X570 boards.

The fact that these devices have already cleared EEC certification points to a fairly rapid release. We likely won't have to wait long for AMD B550 motherboards; AMD's partners will probably unleash dozens of unique solutions early this spring.

Even more interesting, the remaining 15 motherboard models belong to Intel's newest LGA 1200 platform and 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 boards, based on the Z490 and W480 chipsets, are expected to hit shelves this spring alongside Intel's Comet Lake processors.
