AMD inability to release products in order

Feels like it has been a year since x570 came out, why release b550 now.
How many people walk out the store and their board is not compatible

What you mean by not compatible?

that the socket might not be compatible with an older version of Ryzen, im guessing

I can see that as X570 and B550 only officially support 3XXX and up

But with the cost of the motherboards, I'm just wondering who would spend above $180 to use them with Ryzen 1XXX and 2XXX

The only people who may have trouble are those that are using 300 and 400 series motherboards as it depends on the maker to update the bios.

Smh...I put things off to build in the summer...right around now. I already bought some parts (Processor, Motherboard, Video card, memory) but put a hold on it when the stock market dipped. Still need the case, power supply, drives, and monitor.

I was going to build one at the start of the month but cases and boards are sold out. SSD and Ram are super high. Buying a monitor is probably the best bet a lot of good ones are going on sale

Hope prices go down again.

Worded incorrectly.
When zen 2 comes out, x570 will be a bios behind b550.
This is the same mess that occurred when the 2400/2200g came out and microcenter and other places were doing the bios update for buyers

Release the boards when new chips come out

Depending on how Cyberpunk is supposed to perform I may wait...I'm not gonna lie, between a new console & a new GPU, I'm looking at $1500 alone, minimum. One may have to wait

I'm not tryna spend all that honestly. I'd rather a whole new console than a GPU alone.

Via Techpowerup
AMD in an official briefing call with us confirmed that the company's "Zen 3" client processors are on-track for launch within 2020. This refutes rumors that "Zen 3" based Ryzen processors had been delayed to 2021 in favor of giving the upcoming Ryzen 3000XT reign over the rest of the year.

Been running smoothly for a month and a half. My zotac mini rtx 2070 does have some coil whine unfortunately.
