Two new Gigabyte AM4 motherboards pictured

Based on AMD B350 chipset

Two more upcoming Gigabyte AM4 motherboards have been spotted online and apparently based on AMD's mid-range B350 chipset.

According to details, both motherboards are apparently based on either AMD's mid-range B350 chipset or even entry-level A320 chipset. These will support AMD's upcoming Bristol Ridge APUs as well as Zen-based Summit Ridge FX-series CPUs, although the latter will be mostly focused on high-end X370 chipset motherboards.

Biggest updates coming with AMD's upcoming AM4 socket motherboards are that this will be an unified socket, featuring support for both A-series APUs and FX-series CPU as well as the fact that new chips will integrate the south-bridge while the chipset will now offer additional PCI-Express lanes as well as more USB and SATA connectivity options.

Originally spotted by Guru3D.com, the first pictured AM4 motherboard from Gigabyte is based on micro-ATX form-factor and has two DDR4 DIMM slots, single PCI-Express x16 slot, four SATA 6Gbps and standard connectivity, with 5.1-channel audio, up to 6 USB 3.0 ports and Gigabit Ethernet.

The second one is a bit larger, adding additional PCI-Express slot (most likely electrical x4), an M.2 port, two more SATA 6Gbps and a couple more USB 3.0 ports.

These should launch later this year with AMD's 7th generation A-Series Bristol Ridge APUs, while the high-end X370 chipset motherboards are expected early next year with AMD's Zen-based Summit Ridge FX-series CPUs.
