Biostar's new AMD motherboard could be perfect for budget builds — A620A motherboard arrives with a rebadged B550 chipset

A620MH Aurora.

Biostar has revealed the A620MH Aurora, a budget AM5 motherboard with the credentials to rival the best motherboards. Curiously, there aren't any A620A motherboards around, so the A620MH Aurora is the first one of its kind to hit the market.

A620 and A620A are entry-level chipsets from the AMD 600-series family. These chipsets allow motherboard manufacturers to offer consumers an accessible upgrade path to the AM5 platform. The A620 chipset leverages the new Promontory 21 silicon, while the A620A chipset is based on the previous Promontory 19 silicon, presumably the same one that powers the B550 chipset. Therefore, A620A is essentially a relabeled B550. A620 and A620A are almost identical in terms of features. The key differentiator lies in the speed of the chipset uplink.
