Question A mobo will support a cpu or not , Doesn't depend on chipset at all right?

[eziowar]

HI, whatever chipset a MOBO has it will support a CPU if the mobo has supported socket right? A mobo will support a cpu or not , Doesn't depend on chipset at all right?

not necessarily.
many times even for same platform chips a BIOS update may be required
or you'll just find that later manufactured options may just not be supported at all.

MOBO is defined by it's chipset, not by CPU socket only. Together they have to match processor.

No.

For example Intel 100/200 series boards (LGA1151 socket) do not support Intel 8th and 9th gen cpus (LGA1151).
Also Intel 300 series boards (LGA1151) do not support Intel 6th and 7th gen cpus (LGA1151).

is this same for amd as well?

Not exactly, All MBs with AM4 socket have chipsets compatible with all AM4 Ryzen, Chipsets are a320, b350. ,x370, b450, x470, a520., b550 and x570. All they need is appropriate BIOS version and drivers. Those chipset series (300, 400 and 500) differ only by features to match advance in features that came with Ryzen generations like support for PCIe new versions but are all up and down compatible

Not correct.

What do you have in mind?
Some specifics will get you a better answer.

am5 mobo for zen 4 cpu

Can you list model names?
What model board?
What model cpu?

If you have board and are looking for a compatible cpu, then you check cpu compatibility list at board manufacturer support site.
If you have cpu and are looking for a compatible board, then find board with same cpu socket and again check cpu compatibility list at board manufacturer support site.

All MBs with AM5 socket have chipsets compatible with all Ryzen 4 processors. In play are chipsets A620. B650 and X670, later 2 exist with extension "E" with some extra options.

Are you asking if a particular processor and particular motherboard are compatible?
If so, identify them.
Or...
Are you asking for recommendations?
If so give your budget and planned usage.
