After the first pictures of an A620 mainboard for Ryzen 7000 (“Raphael”) appeared, the first mainboards can now be found in stores for well under 100 euros.

The overall package of Ryzen 7000, A620 chipset and cheap DDR5 memory modules could rob the current Core i 13000 series (“Raptor Lake”) of customers in the future.
