Gigabyte resurrects 8-year-old B450 chipset with new motherboards — AM4 budget king returns as another DDR4 solution to exorbitant RAM prices
Gigabyte has quietly launched the B450M D3HP and B450M D3HP WIFI6E motherboards based on the AMD B450 chipset, which launched in 2018.
Memory shortages have turned DDR5 into premium hardware. In response, chipset manufacturers like Gigabyte have dusted off older, more affordable options. Gigabyte recently released the B450M D3HP and B450M D3HP WIFI6E motherboards, built around the eight-year-old B450 chipset. These microATX motherboards support a range of AMD Ryzen processors and APU models.
They can accommodate memory kits from 4GB to 128GB and can handle storage via two M.2 2280 slots and four SATA III connectors. Wi-Fi 6E connectivity is available on the WIFI6E variant, while integrated graphics are provided for those without discrete GPUs. The motherboards also offer a variety of USB ports and a Gigabit Ethernet connection.
At this point, prices for these budget-friendly options are still unknown, but their inclusion in the market could help consumers cope with the ongoing memory shortage.
