AMD’s B650 chipset isn’t going anywhere, according to a new rumor — rising memory costs and softening DIY demand mean the transition to B850 may take longer than expected

AMD is apparently no longer telling vendors to stop B650 production in favor of B850 (and B840) due to the current component crisis. Skyrocketing DDR5 prices have caused a steep decline in new motherboard sales, which has reportedly influenced the Red Team to continute to make and sell B650 boards for now, helping consumers still select the cheaper option.
