B650 chipset motherboards release date?
Is the release date for B650 chipset motherboards confirmed? The article says the date is 'October 10, 2022', does this date need a source? 92.24.66.115 (talk) 20:29, 7 October 2022 (UTC)

Cooler compatibility
I've expanded upon and updated the heatsink section of the article, with current info, covering some issues around cooler backwards compatibility, such as the backplate. Feel free to improve and add further upon. AP 499D25 (talk) 10:33, 19 October 2022 (UTC)

Error on chipsets table?
Currently the Chipsets table's third column mentions PCIe 3.0 and PCIe 4.0 when it should be PCIe 4.0 and PCIe 5.0. At least according to my understanding of the same sources. 2800:300:6253:A0:D018:5D60:E93B:2079 (talk) 03:54, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Chipset vs CPU, Pcie5 is from CPU not chipset. --Denniss (talk) 09:50, 26 November 2023 (UTC)

Planned additions/changes June 2024
I am looking to update the AM5 chipsets list table and in doing so, add a "platform features" table that goes over the motherboard features offered by each chipset tier. I researched the new X870 and X870E chipsets, and found out that the chipsets themselves are not identical between the two, unlike X670 and X670E; instead they actually mirror B650E and X670E respectively. Also, both X870 and X870E have PCI-E 5.0 support on x16 and M.2 slots. This means the "Extreme" (E-suffix) branding no longer means just one thing anymore.

So I figured, it's probably better to create a separate table or table section that goes over the non-chipset-related features offered by each platform (e.g. USB4, PCI-E 5.0 lanes) to explain these differences as well as what 'E' means in each chipset series.

Take a look at my sandbox page where I have come up with three different solutions for listing the platform features and chipset specifications: layout 1, where they are split into two separate tables on the Socket AM5 table; layout 2, where they are both combined into one table in the AM5 chipsets list template; layout 3, where the tables are split up but both of them are in the AM5 chipsets template.

Let me know what solution you think seems the best overall.

 * Option 2 looks to crowded - too much info squeezed in one table. Either 1 or 3 would be good for me. Maybe get some additional inspiration by looking at intel chipset articles? --Denniss (talk) 15:16, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I lean towards "Socket AM5 layout 2" however, please take a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGA_1700#Alder_Lake_chipsets_(600_series)
 * Maybe you could list products at the top, and features on the left :-)
 * I've actually proposed that for the GeForce 40 series series article and people were receptive, except it was so much work, no one volunteered :-) Artem S. Tashkinov (talk) 16:05, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the suggestions, I have now implemented and published a vertical table layout similar to the Intel articles, as it is indeed more space-efficient. The one table contains both platform features (e.g. overclocking, PCI-E 5.0 support) and the chipset specifications. By the way, I have not colspanned the coloured yes/no cells in the features section, as reading flow top-to-bottom seemed better without. — AP 499D25  (talk)  10:00, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Maybe for A620 replace x0 and 0 with "No"/"None"/"N/A"? Artem S. Tashkinov (talk) 10:44, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I have done that. — AP 499D25  (talk)  06:09, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
