AMD has officially announced the retirement of B650, the pioneering mainstream motherboard chipset for the AM5 platform, as the company transitions into an inventory optimization phase. Amid significant stock levels, B650 motherboard products are anticipated to remain on shelves until the conclusion of the third quarter. This move is strategically aimed at encouraging motherboard manufacturers to facilitate a generational shift from the 600 series to the 800 series, potentially enhancing the accessibility and affordability of B850 motherboards.
