An AMD Ryzen 7000 appears on a B650 motherboard with a voltage of 1.5v

User @9550pro on Twitter shared a photo showing information revealing an AMD Ryzen 7000 equipped with a new mid-range B650 motherboard. This image is the first evidence of the existence of a B650 motherboard and shows how close the transition is from AM4 to AM5.

“AM4 has fulfilled its historical mission, a new era is coming. 😊”.

The shared image indicates that it is a system that has a processor Ryzen 7000 called “engineering sample” (Engineering Sample) on a motherboard with the B650 chipset. Despite being a very simple leak, it gives indications that intermediate chips like this should already be in development and should reach our market shortly after the high-end chips like the X670 or X690.

In addition, another extremely curious point is the VCore of about 1.5V that is indicated in the filtered image, information that can be interpreted in two ways: AMD is already working with these voltages to test the overclocking potential of its new processors, or as is quite likely, this model being a Engineering Sample it’s a bit limited and that 1.5V value is just something that can be discarded for future versions of CPUs that actually reach consumers.

The new generation of AMD Ryzen 7000 processors, or AMD Raphael, will be AMD’s newest generation of CPUs expected to launch later in the year. The models will bring interesting news such as support for PCIE 5th generation, new Zen 4 microarchitecture at 5 nanometers and also integrated graphics based on RDNA2, which will be present in the CPUs by default.
