Εdeficiencies in mainstream motherboards with the A320, B450 and A68 may also pose a problem in the European market.
The phenomenon of bundling processors with motherboards is a common practice in the wider region of China, however, according to sources, this seems to be going better than the motherboard manufacturers expected, so there are shortcomings in mainstream chipsets such as the B450.
The first manufacturers to be affected in this area are ASUS and GIGABYTE are currently the first in the motherboard market based on sales worldwide. Things look just as bad for MSI as it stopped promoting an entry level bundle with an A320 motherboard and an A8-9600 APU due to the low availability it sees but at the same time increases prices because of this. The first two seem to aim to increase production in every possible way to avoid price increases on their own models but if the phenomenon continues, price increases will be imminent.
The positive of the case is that the X470 chipset is not affected and based on sales is absorbed more in the European market. Undoubtedly, the above is also related to the recent lack of 14nm CPUs from Intel, something that turns many people in the market of AMD systems for their future builds.
