AMD’s Next-Gen B650 and X670 Chipsets Reportedly Lack PCIe Gen 5 Support; To be Enabled Through CPUedit
AMD’s next-gen 600 series chipsets may lack support for PCIe Gen 5 and instead leverage a Gen 4.0 x4 interconnect with the CPU. This is in direct contrast to Intel’s latest 600 chipset family released alongside Alder Lake which has a PCIe 5.0 x16 slot for even the lowest-end H610 boards. It’s unclear why AMD would decide to omit Gen 5 support from its first AM5 boards, or if this leak is actually legit.
