In this content, we're talking about the new AMD A520 chipset specs. This is a follow-up to the 2017 A320 chipset, which launched alongside other notables, like X370, B350, and less-than-notables, like X300 and A/B300. The A520 chipset mostly changes its PCIe lane count and generation for PCIe general purpose lanes. Overclocking is still locked, and CPU support is sort of all over the place. We cover all of those topics in this video detailing A520 vs. B550, B450, X570, A320, etc.
