Raptor Lake vs. Ryzen 5000/7000: "Chipset" and Socket Surveys


from Thilo Bayer –
Can Intel turn the tide with Raptor Lake? Or can AMD now take off completely thanks to two sockets? Vote and show us which I/O hubs are currently particularly exciting for our readers.

The editors regularly ask their readers about the hardware they use in their systems. This helps us to assess which platforms and products are particularly exciting for you. Today we have two polls on I/O hubs or “chipsets”.

Two surveys, one topic

The I/O hub, previously known as the “chipset” or at Intel as the “platform controller hub” (PCH), is one of the most important components for mainboards. The CPU uses it to communicate with the external devices, and a specific I/O hub can also be required for special features such as overclocking. Due to the many new releases such as the Z790, B650(E) or X670(E) we would like to update our surveys.

For one, we want in our Q4 survey, what the current distribution of sockets and I/O hubs looks like. As a reminder: Even before the launch of Zen 4 or Socket AM5, AMD had an overwhelming advantage. In Q3, 36.4 percent of the participants voted only for the X570. Almost 20 percent had ticked the B550, so that’s over 50 percent X570 and B550. There wasn’t much left for Intel. The Z690 for socket 1700 was still the largest Intel I/O hub at 5.6 percent. Is that still the case now? Where do the Socket AM5 chipsets end up, where does the Z790 for Socket 1700 end up?

A second survey is about the future. Which socket and which I/O hub has the next motherboard? Will the new systems mentioned play a greater role in the near future? Or does the motto apply: “My system will last for a while”? Take part in our new surveys and feel free to leave a comment there. You must be logged in to PCGH.de or the Extreme forum to comment.
