AMD A320 vs A520 vs B450 vs B550 Chipset Comparison – Is A520 worth it over the older similarly priced B450?

ByJames Smythe

AMD has finally announced its most affordable option for the current generation of motherboards, but what does it offer over the previous generation or the overclocking friendly B550 chipset? For this comparison, I will ignore the X570 chipset, if you are considering A520 I doubt you will be persuaded with the premium-priced X570. One big…

Most of the affordable 10Gbps switches use SFP+ ports rather than copper RJ45 meaning you then need to find an…
