AMD has announced the B550 chipset and we have already seen some B550 motherboards from Asus and other companies. Here we have the details regarding the B550 motherboards from Asus. We have a total of 11 Asus B550 motherboards and they are from the ROG, TUF and Prime series.
Asus B550 Motherboards
The B550 motherboards are going to be for mid-range PC builds. The B550 chipset supports PCIe 4.0 and that is the major selling point of these motherboards. Even though some new Z490 motherboards support this feature you cannot use it as the 10th generation of Intel CPUs do not support the feature.

These are all the Asus B550 motherboards that we know about right now. These motherboards will be available later this month and will start going on pre-order soon.
