all this bullshit depending on what ASMedia IO dongle connects over PCIE bus on the motherboards.
>dual-source these chipsets
and proceeds to explains how there will be none of that with exclusive ASMedia once again :)
>Low-end, Mid-range, High-end
ah yes, back to artificial segmentation based on limited BW 4x PCIE switch while CPUs provide plenty of dedicated PCIE lanes.
>“X670E“ branded motherboards will require the primary PCIe and M.2 slots to support PCIe 5.0 linkrate. The chipset itself is identical to X670.
and now we are at making up totally fake name for a non existent product X670E to upmarket PCIE 5.0, sweet!
>designing only a single piece of silicon to span across multiple market segments, it is much more cost-effective to design for the mass market middle-end solution and double up for the high-end rather than designing a larger, more expensive die that fits the requirements of the top end
spilling truth by accident once again. Yes, AMD is selling us the same cheap solution under different names for different prices, and we should be thrilled!
No, the chipset is in the Ryzen CPU. What they mean is a Southbridge used by board manufacturers for market segmentation purposes.
>AMD’s Ryzen line of client Desktop processors don’t even need a ‘chipset‘
Amazing, an article stating the truth for once!
>Despite this, nearly all Desktop motherboards still contain a chipset, but in its modern iteration serve as I/O expansion hubs
and back to muddying the water. No, "chipsets" are used for market segmentation, and AMD is complicit with gems like this:
