This reads like a poorly written press release out of Asia.
So does the CPU have 20% of the gaming performance of the competition, or 20% better gaming performance than the competition?
Seriously AMD, this is rookie stuff...

And we still don't know exactly how the B550 will support PCIe 4.0...
Very informative press release...

the high end 3000 chips are already out, these are just the office chips or HTPC chips to fill it out, when you dont need or want an APU

I didn't miss anything, my question was how it'll support it, not if it supports it.
As in, which interfaces will support PCIe 4.0?
It also reads like crap, as first it talks about the boards, then switches to the chipset. So is it the boards that support PCIe 4.0 through the CPU lanes only, or does the chipset also support PCIe 4.0?
The rookie who wrote this press release should get a good kicking, as should the rookies manager. This is piss poor command of the English language.

Except Intel wanted $312-350 for their quad cores with HT... These start at $99...

These should fill the gap the low end of the table, Right now the 3000G and 3200G fill the budget space in Canada. The Athlon is a weak CPU that is good only for Grandma or some other relative or client that intends to do no gaming. The 3200G is nice but just $20 in most cases shy of the 2600. I expect these to be $89 and $99 here in Canada once they reach retail channels.

Wasn't my point to criticize you. The quote I gave makes it sound like x570 doesn't exist and only B550 supports gen 4.

This is not about talent, as these use the same chips as higher end models. It is just production, binning, selling faulty dies before the time for next-gen comes out, and providing another good option to consumers.

The CPUs look nice for entry level gaming or productivity systems, though for the latter an APU ought to be better - definitely looking forward to 4000-series APUs hitting the desktop.

B550 is about time though, and I was really hoping for more detail. Good to hear there are plenty of designs on the way, but I want specs. Full support for PCIe 4.0 from the CPU is a given, so that means 16+4 (and possibly 8+8+4 if it supports bifurcation). But what will the PCIe off the chipset look like? PCIe 2.0 like previous generations? PCIe 3.0 with a 3.0 uplink? 3.0 with a 4.0 uplink? And how many lanes? If the chipset supports two additional NVMe drives over a 4.0 x4 uplink, that would be really great. Two m.2s over a 3.0 x4 uplink would be okay. Anything less would be rather disappointing. Still, hoping for some good semi-budget designs with WiFi here, as one of those is a shoo-in for my next HTPC once 4000-series APUs hit.

Bad timing for launch. Better wait the true real APUs and CPUs, and boards with Ryzen 4000.

Just saying that the laptop platform is much better now..

DDR5 is coming, next year. PCIe 5.0 makes no sense in consumer applications, yet.

Wasn't my point to criticize you. The quote I gave makes it sound like x570 doesn't exist and only B550 supports gen 4.
The whole press release is written by someone that 1. isn't a native level English speaker/writer 2. doesn't know how to write so it makes sense and 3. wasn't checked/edited by anyone that 1 and 2 applies to.

B550 is about time though, and I was really hoping for more detail. Good to hear there are plenty of designs on the way, but I want specs. Full support for PCIe 4.0 from the CPU is a given, so that means 16+4 (and possibly 8+8+4 if it supports bifurcation). But what will the PCIe off the chipset look like?

Just checked with someone I know at one of the board makers, PCIe 4.0 is only through the CPU lanes, not from the chipset. So B550 doesn't technically support PCIe 4.0, even though the boards sporting the chipset will. This was what I was expecting in the first place. Beyond that, I don't know.

Yes, but December 2021, very probably.

PCIe 5.0 makes no sense in consumer applications, yet.

Yes because PCIe 4 is not properly utilised nor popular enough yet.

Will be years before anything better makes sense.
Despite the fact that you do need RAM disk type of performance for your Windows and daily operations.

This reads like a poorly written press release out of Asia.
So does the CPU have 20% of the gaming performance of the competition, or 20% better gaming performance than the competition?

Probably against a dual-core Intel :D

B550 enables the PCIe 4 support which on its own is still pretty something, compared to B450 which doesn't support anything.

B550 is basically the same thing, as intel does with unnecessary socket change. 1151v1 motherboards work well with Coffee Lake if you mod them a bit. And B550 is just a B450 that is allowed to use CPU`s PCI-E 4.0 lanes. I`m running the first bios that supports Zen 2 CPUs and my MSI B450i Gaming Plus AC actually works with Gen 4 enabled. My 5700XT uses it according to radeon settings. One russian youtuber tested Gen 4 SSD on this thing and it worked! I guess I won`t update the bios in the future

9th gen i3 lineup starts at 4C/4T.

The "20%" and "75%" figures refer to i3-9100, which is a 4C/4T with IGP for ~$122 - it's actually competing with the older 3200G.
i3-9100F costs $95 according to ARK, but it's actually more like $80 in stores ($78 on newegg).

Both chips are being phased out because of the imminent 10th gen launch.
i3-10100 will be a 4C/8T with IGP for $120-130. I haven't seen any leaks for i3-10100F pricing.
B550 enables the PCIe 4 support which on its own is still pretty something, compared to B450 which doesn't support anything.
Actually it's more like "B550 doesn't disable PCIe 4.0".

That's as expected - if the chipset had PCIe 4.0 outputs, what would be different from X570? But did they say whether the chipset uplink is 3.0 or 4.0? Or whether the chipset outputs a reasonable amount of 3.0 lanes? If it's still 2.0, that would be very disappointing.
