For
a
product of Severi–Brauer varieties, we conjecture that if the Chow ring of
is
generated by Chern classes, then the canonical epimorphism from the Chow ring of
to the
graded ring associated to the coniveau filtration of the Grothendieck ring of
is an
isomorphism. We show this conjecture is equivalent to the condition that if
is a split semisimple
algebraic group of type ,
is a Borel
subgroup of
and
is a standard
generic
-torsor,
then the canonical epimorphism from the Chow ring of
to the
graded ring associated with the coniveau filtration of the Grothendieck ring of
is an
isomorphism. In certain cases we verify this conjecture.
