Question New A620A Chipset by AMD?

[SteinFG]

Was browsing AMD website and found that they listed a new motherboard chipset (or a variant), called A620A

https://www.amd.com/en/products/processors/chipsets/am5.html#specs

The last time this happened was with B550 and B550A

https://www.amd.com/en/products/processors/chipsets/am4.html#specs

In that case B550A came first, and it was a rebadged X470, with B550 coming later and using a different chip, but offering slightly less lanes than B550A

Some leakers on twitter say that there is a variant of B550 chipset on AM5 under a different name, and it seems like it is actually A620A, as their specs pretty much line up.

info from amd.com	USB 5Gb/s	USB 10Gb/s	USB 20GB/s	PCIe lanes	SATA lanes	Chipset uplink
B550	2	2	0	PCIe 3.0, 10 lanes	up to 6	PCIe 3.0 x4
A620A	2	2	0	PCIe 3.0, 8 lanes	up to 4	unknown
A620	2	2	0	PCIe 3.0, 8 lanes	up to 4	PCIe 4.0 x4

So, Currently A620 uses a binned version of B650 chip, and to cut costs, A620A seems to be a binned version of B550.
This is clearly just a way to reuse older AM4 chipsets on new AM5 motherboards, as they're not that different in spec.

Biostar Debuts First AMD A620A Chipset Motherboard, Based on B550 Chipset With Gen3 Interface

Biostar has released the first AMD A620A motherboard, the A620MH Aurora, which is based on the B550 chipset.

Yo, first appearance of it. It's a relabled B550 chipset, as predicted

edit: seems like WCCF refers to TechPowerUp as a source for this claim, which in fact refers to my post here. It's all a circle 😂. Even though I said that this is just my guess that A620A seems to be a binned B550. Doesn't really mean much, but it's funny

For those of us focused on gaming, that has potential. If it's like $60 or so, can handle EXPO 6000MTs and a 7800X3D, that'd be pretty cool.
