So that you understand what this new motherboard model is about, I tell you that the format Mini-ITX is a design standard for motherboards that was developed by VIA Technologies in 2001. Measuring 17 × 17 cm (or 6.7 × 6.7 inches), this form factor is significantly smaller than more traditional motherboard form factors such as ATX and microATX.
Gigabyte has made history by being the first company to launch a motherboard on the market. AMD-A620 in Mini-ITX format, with its model A620I-AX Ultra Durable. Although it was expected that the new low-end chip with the socket AM5 had models available between June and July, no other company, not even ASRock, MSI, ASUS, or even Biostar, which recently returned to the market, have come up with a Mini-ITX model.
Based on the provided specifications, this motherboard is designed to support two DDR5 memory modules and one 4×16 PCIe device. It also has two SATA ports and requires a 24+8 power connection to function properly. In addition, the motherboard is equipped with an Ethernet port and an integrated WiFi-AX connection, which can go up to 2.5 GbE.
Additionally, Gigabyte’s new motherboard includes a slot for an NVME M.2 SSD. Although at the time of writing this article, the company has not revealed the official price nor when it will be available for sale, the information is expected to be published shortly.
However, considering that A620 motherboards typically top out at $100, this model probably won’t exceed that cost.
What are the A620 about?
Taking into account that AMD A620 motherboards are made to reduce costs, we have to make it clear that it does not allow overclocking and that there are different models, that only support processors up to 75Wthese are the non-X up to the Ryzen 7 7700.
The nice thing about the A620I-AX that has just been introduced, is that unlike AMD’s common motherboards of the A620 line, This model will allow you to install processors of more than 75W.
