Amd 600, the new series of chipsets could arrive before the end of the year

The upcoming AMD 600 series chips may not be as far as we think, according to reports. Anonymous sources in the Taiwanese media "industry" claimed that the next wave of AMD chipsets should arrive in late 2020.

Reports point to launch of AMD 600 chipset series during 2020

As reported by The China Times earlier this month, ASMedia is expected to start producing the budget-focused AMD B550 and A520 chipsets in the first quarter of this year. According to DigiTimes' report today, ASMedia has already secured orders from AMD for the upcoming 600 series chips as well. ASMedia and AMD have been friends for years, so ASMedia was expected to get the orders.

Deadlines for AMD's new chipsets and processors are rumored to line up. The China Times estimated that Zen 3 desktop processors, which will likely be called Ryzen 4000 (codename Vermeer), will likely drop in the second half of this year.

It was reported that ASMedia's USB 3.2 Gen 2 × 2 driver chip should have an increase in demand. The reason for this is that the chips embedded within current Intel CPUs are only capable of supporting USB 3.2 Gen 2 transmission speeds of up to 10Gbps, while the ASMedia solution offers twice the performance at speeds of up to 20Gbps..

ASMedia is also preparing a USB 4 controller chip, which it plans to release this year. We will keep you informed about the new motherboards that will arrive with the AMD 600 series and the new Ryzen 4000 processors for PC.
