The AMD A620 motherboard is officially released
AMD officially announced the official launch of the entry-level chipset "A620", which can fully match the functions and performance of the Ryzen 7000 series processor and AM5 platform, providing a streamlined and reliable platform.
In terms of specifications, the A620 chipset cancels the expensive and currently little practical value of PCIe 5.0 and instead supports PCIe 4.0, providing 32 lanes, and can still provide full PCIe 4.0 ×16 lanes for graphics cards and at least one or two PCIe 4.0 ×4 lanes for SSDs. Of course, the memory still only supports DDR5, but it still retains AMD EXPO one-key overclocking technology, and 6400MHz is no problem, but some models only have two slots. USB and SATA interfaces should also be streamlined on the basis of the B650.
The AMD A620 motherboard will be released on the market from now on, with the official recommended price starting at $85, which is 32% cheaper than the B650 starting at $125.
The B650 motherboard is still the lowest in China to about 1200 yuan, if not strictly calculated, the A620 motherboard should be as low as about 800 yuan, of course, it is not cheap enough, but it is indeed much better, and it is more perfect to drop it later.

3DMark joins AMD FSR testing
3DMark today added a feature test specifically for AMD FRS 2.2 super-resolution technology, which can compare performance and image quality. Prior to this, 3DMark has joined the special tests of NVIDIA DLSS and Intel XeSS, and AMD is finally belated, and the three have gathered.
The 3DMark FSR test borrows from a scene in the Speed Way and will be run twice to demonstrate the performance and image quality improvement of FSR 2.2 technology. The first pass renders the output at native resolution, turns on TAA anti-aliasing, and the second leg renders at a lower resolution, scales to native resolution according to the specified FSR quality mode, and outputs again, resulting in the performance improvement of FSR. Before testing, you can specify the FSR quality mode level, output resolution, rendering graphics device, etc.
