Update, November 20, 9:39 a.m.: Biostar claims that the information published in Brainbox's interview was "incorrect," but didn't specify what exactly was incorrect. Brainbox has removed specific mention of the chipsets from its live article on the site. Our original story is below.

Korean media Brainbox's latest interview with Biostar Product Manager Vicky Wang has revealed some pretty interesting information about forthcoming AMD and Intel motherboards.

When asked about Biostar's future products, Wang responded that we can expect new offerings with both AMD and Intel chipsets . In regards to the much-anticipated AMD B550 chipset , the executive said corresponding motherboards are ready to go.

Sadly, Wang didn't reveal the specific date on when they will actually hit the shelves. However, a DigiTimes report in June claimed motherboard manufacturers are supposed to receive B550 chipset orders this quarter , meaning the motherboards could come out at the end of 2019 or early 2020.

Intel's 400-series chipset, which is tailored to Comet Lake-S (CML-S) processors, are also due next year. Wang mentioned three chipsets in particular here. It's rumored , that the Z490 chipset will target high-end motherboards, while the B460 and H410 chipsets will be for mid-range and entry-level motherboards , respectively. According to a Comet Lake-S leak from earlier this month, the 14nm chips are scheduled for the first half of next year, so we don't expect to see any 400-series motherboards in a near future.

    At last some confirmation on B550, hope it doesn't have a chipset fan and has similar VRM's to budget x570 chipsets, Combination of Asus VRM's and high end features with lower price tag would be a nice pick.

    If it would be as budget 570 it would,cost same as budget 570, so They have to something of.
    Most likely They will cut vrm and connections. Most people thinks that there is not Pci4.0 or that you get one Pci4.0 port directly from cpu.
    But i am sure that we will get info about them Sooner than later.
    but They definitely Are gonna be weaker than budget 570 boards, so that They can sell them for less money.

    They were likely "incorrect" in speaking about B550 before they were supposed to.
