Ryzen 2 and AM4 motherboards

[xFluing]

With Ryzen 2 around the corner, I have to wonder what will happen to the prices on the AM4 motherboards... Will they stay the same, or will they rise in price because Ryzen 2 will run on the same socket?

Until 2020, AMD will stick with AM4. So yes, Ryzen 2 should be perfectly fine with current AM4 motherboards

Ryzen 2 is coming later, I do believe you mean Ryzen +.

Ryzen 2 is coming in 2019, and yes, and no, not a new iteration, a new generation, like Intel with the Core series.

Ryzen +, the actual new generation, is planned to come out in a month's time from now, but hopefully it won't be Vega again.

So the 2000 series won't be Ryzen 2?

Guys, chill. The naming is not important, the product is:

 

What is coming is ryzen second iteration. Its a improvement of the original architecture, much like skylake to kaby lake.

Its Ryzen + I believe 

I think that AM4 will drop in price because more boards will be released like the Gigabyte Aorus X470 was originally meant to be a X370 but they decided to just bios update them with the new shit if I am correct.

I didnt know you could just update the chipset with a bios update?

 

but you would be onto something board may have newer chipsets for the new cpu. but from what ive read they should also be supported on the current chipsets as well - with a bios update

 

hence this may lower the prices on current boards
