AMD prob held out as long as it could - they make more money via x570 then b550 as they produced the chip. AMD are finally thinking business first at the perfect time .

Have a feeling Aorus B550 Master could go Three ways with VRM; - since X570 Elite features 12x Vishay 50A SiC634 (Integrated Mosfet) powerstages on 4 layer PCB and X570 Gaming X loses integrated Mosfet for 1 Hi (4C10N) + 2 Low (4C06N) set up per phase, having 10 Phases total . Both use Doublers unlike Master and Xtreme so B550 most likely would double aswell

  • 10 Integrated Phases at 40amps or 8 Integrated at 50 amps giving same 400amps across VCore
  • 8 non Integrated Phases but unlike Gaming X/UD would feature 2 Hi + 2 Low phase design
In theory B550 Aorus boards should offer higher amps across the Vcore then x570 entry boards but at a less eff way with lower costs, as X570 Elite offers 120amps more then Pro/Ultra actually does.

Pure thoughts and guesses though. Gigabyte cant afford to offer a weak line up with b550 like B450 was, and with z390 and x570 offering killer phases it would be madness not to continue pushing higher phases designs then rivals
