B450 vs B550 benchmarks?

[ottawahacker]

I was wondering if anyone has seen benchmarks of same CPU/mem with B450 chipset vs B550. The B550 is supposed to have some faster internals but it is unclear to me if they make any difference at the end of the day on Framerate or SSD performance or pure CPU.

chipset don't affect performance these days. The big  difference between the two is pcie gen 4 from the cpu is support only b550.

 

THe gpu and top m.2 ssd are also directly connected to the cpu, so the data won't go through the chipset.

There will be essentially zero performance impact between B450 and B550 aside from cases where the chipset link is fully saturated (which is basically impossible without trying).

Benchmarks? No body doing motherboard benchmark anymore, since the difference is too little.

B550 is not suppose to have better internals, it's all depends on the motherboard maker to choose which components to use.

But in generals newer model suppose to have newer electronic parts, but not necessary better than the older one.

For a casual user? gen 4 for the SSD doesn't matter and any current gpu isn't really affected by x16 gen 3, as for the cpu, unless the board is really bad and can't handle the cpu so it throttles it due to bad vrm, it wont make a difference.

Thanks you - this makes sense. I was just curious if saturating the chipset would show up through one of the benchmarks.

that is really interesting. I was just reading that even my cheap Asrock B450M-HDV has actually good VRMs so it sounds like I won't gain anything from a B550.
