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

Gigabyte has introduced new DDR4 AM4 motherboards in response to the ongoing RAM shortage and rising DDR5 prices. The new boards include A520 and B550 chipset variants with modern upgrades like ARGB lighting and WiFi support. The Aorus B550I Pro AX 1.4 stands out with Mini-ITX form factor, Wi-Fi 6E, PCIe 4.0 support, and other advanced features. The A520M H ARGB offers affordability with ARGB support and PCIe 3.0 speeds. The shift back to AM4 indicates a trend towards AMD's older socket due to DDR5 price spikes, with DDR4 kits still available at reasonable prices.
