List of upcoming AMD B550 and Intel Z490/W480 motherboards leaked online
A list of 26 GIGABYTE motherboards based on AMD B550 and Intel Z490/W480 chipsets, which have passed EEC certification and are preparing for release, has been leaked.
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:
⤢ ВІДКРИТИB550 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:
⤢ ВІДКРИТИZ490 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.
