Gigabyte introduces a320-ds3 and a320m motherboards

Gigabyte continues to bet heavily on the new AM4 platform and has announced the launch of two new A320-DS3 and A320M-HD2 motherboards with the low-end A320 chipset, thereby offering users on a tight budget the possibility of making the leap to the new AMD Ryzen processors.

Gigabyte A320-DS3 and A320M-HD2 features

The new Gigabyte A320-DS3 is one of the first motherboards with an ATX form factor and the new low-end chipset for the AMD Summit Ridge platform, on the other hand the Gigabyte ATX A320M-HD2 is a Micro-ATX solution to enable the assembly of more compact equipment that lacks nothing. The most important limitation of the A320 chipset is the inability to overclock the processor, a rather negative point when all Ryzen processors come with the multiplier unlocked. So they can be more interesting options for very cheap teams with the Bristol Ridge APUs.

As for the Gigabyte A320-DS3 we find a PCI-Express 3.0 x16 slot next to a second PCI-Express 2.0 x16 slot, two PCI 2.0 x1 ports and two PCI-Express 2.0 x1 for expansion cards. We continue with two DDR4 DIMM slots, two USB 3.1 type-A ports, high-quality 6-channel audio, gigabit Ethernet, and video outputs in the form of DVI and D-Sub. As for the Gigabyte ATX A320M-HD2, it is made up of a single PCI-Express 3.0 x16 slot, two PCI-Express 2.0 x1, a PCI slot and a video output in the form of HDMI. Both are expected for a price below $ 80.
