AMD hasn’t said too much about its upcoming A520 chipset, but we all know that it’s coming. Following on the heels of ASUS, ASRock (via @momomo_us) has registered twelve of its own A520 motherboards for regulatory approval at the EEC, which comprise Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX SKUs such as the A520M Pro4 and A520M-ITX/ac. Here’s the full list.

TWELVE? Is the cost to manufacture that low or are the volumes expected to be that high?

Doesn't seem too out of line. Just looking at AsRock X570 motherboards on Newegg and there are 13 listed.

Granted, with a quick look I see at least 2 boards that are identical but once includes Wifi while the other doesn't.

Ax20 the bastard child edition? Isn't all like Bx50 and Xx70?
What does this bring to the table, even cheaper than b550?

it usually like — the A520-A, the A520-AW (same as the A but with WiFi), the A520-AM (same as the A but in microATX), the A520-AHiFi (same as the A but with “premium” audio)

etc...
