ASUS has released new motherboards Prime H510M-K R2.0-CSM, Prime H510M-F R2.0-CSM and Prime H510M-K R2.0-CSM, which, despite the name, are based on the H470 chipset, not the H510 . Although the H510 chipset is newer, the H470 provides support for a large set of features, so its use in new motherboards is justified.

It’s nothing new for motherboard manufacturers to repurpose old chipsets into new products, or vice versa, to use old motherboards with new chipsets. This practice can be due to various reasons, including the presence of an excess number of certain microcircuits from the manufacturer, which must be used in products aimed at the consumer market.
The H510 chipset is newer, but the older H470 looks quite competitive. The H470 supports two memory modules per channel, more USB and SATA ports, and also allows you to create RAID arrays and has more PCIe lanes. It seems that the specifications of the new motherboards are not much different from the Prime H510M-E R2.0-CSM. It is still unknown when the Prime H510M-K R2.0-CSM, Prime H510M-F R2.0-CSM and Prime H510M-K R2.0-CSM motherboards will be available.
