Gigabyte unleashes new DDR4 AM4 motherboards as RAM shortage continues to slam PC builders — sky-high DDR5 prices spark rush for affordable alternatives

Gigabyte AM5 motherboard.

Gigabyte is capitalizing on the ongoing resurgence in demand for AM4 motherboards as DDR5 RAM prices continue to rise. Spotted by TechPowerUp, the board maker has released four brand new boards, two on the A520 chipset and two on the B550 chipset, featuring a mix of Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX variants.

Most of the four boards are new iterations of existing models sporting minor upgrades to make them more modern, such as the addition of ARGB lighting or WiFi support. The Aorus B550I Pro AX 1.4 is the most premium board of the bunch, featuring a Mini-ITX form factor and, as the name implies, onboard Wi-Fi 6E. The board also comes with an 8-phase VRM power delivery system, PCIe 4.0 support, dual NVMe PCIe 4.0 slots, 2.5Gb Ethernet, dual HDMI ports, and USB 3.2 Gen 2 support. This variant is a revision upgrade over the Aorus B550I Pro AX 1.3 with no changes according to the spec sheet.
