I do a deep dive into the B650 and X670 chipset architectures for the Ryzen Zen4 7000 series processors, and compare the performance of these in terms of PCIE performance, socket availability and connectivity. This is done using real boards so you can really see the real world benefits of each.

I explain what to consider, and how you can save yourself a stack of money. And provide all the detail on the rationale behind all this.
