There are currently 3 generations of AM4-based chipsets on the market. Models beginning with the number "3" are representatives of the first generation, with the number "4" — the second generation, etc.

Individual chipset models differ in comparison to each other, among others, in the number of PCI Express lanes, USB ports, SATA connectors, as well as supported technologies. The table below shows these differences.[1][2][3]

Model Release Date PCI Express (PCIe) USB:
3.1 Gen 2 + 3.1 Gen 1 + 2.0
SATA + SATA Express[lower-alpha 1] RAID AMD StoreMI Precision Boost Overdrive Processor overclocking TDP Market segment CPU support[4]
PCIe lanes CrossFire SLI Zen Zen+ Zen 2
X570 2019 July[5] PCIe 4.0 ×16 Yes Yes 8 + 0 + 4 12 0, 1, 10 Yes Yes Yes ~15 W[6][7] Performance / Enthusiast No Yes Yes
X470 2018 March[8] PCIe 2.0 ×8 2 + 6 + 6 4 + 2 ~5 W[9] Yes
X370 2017 February[10] No No Yes[lower-alpha 2]
B450 2018 March[8] PCIe 2.0 ×6 No 2 + 2 + 6 2 + 1 Yes Yes Mainstream Yes
B350 2017 February[10] No No Yes[lower-alpha 2]
A320 2017 February[10] PCIe 2.0 ×4 No 1 + 2 + 6 No Entry level No
  1. Each SATA Express port can be divided into 2 SATA ports.
  2. 2.0 2.1 Selective Beta BIOS update needed

The 300 and 400 series Chipsets are designed in collaboration with ASMedia.[11] The X570 is designed by AMD with IP licensed from ASMedia and other companies.[12] Network interface controller, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth are provided by external chips connected to the chipset through PCIe or USB. All 300/400 series chipsets are made using 55 nm lithography.[13]
