AMD Delaying Flagship Chipset!

Story Highlight
  • The X870E and X870 series motherboards are expected to debut in late September.
  • The new motherboards will feature improved connectivity and enhanced AMD EXPO support.
  • Both the X870E and X870 motherboards will feature PCIe Gen 5 functionality across M.2 NVMe and graphics ports as standard.

The X870E and X870 series will reportedly debut in late September, near the release of the Ryzen 9000X3D. Although the launch date is not yet confirmed, the new motherboards will be released at least two months after the Ryzen 9000 desktop CPUs launch.

Why it matters: These motherboards will offer the best platform experience for AM5 users, unlocking the full potential of high-end AMD Ryzen 9000 CPUs. AMD recently increased the TDP for some of its chips to 120W, making the higher-end motherboards more important.

Additionally, the 600 series boards from last year will support the new CPUs. Connectivity will be the primary difference, including USB 4 connections and better AMD EXPO support for the X870E chipset.

Thanks to the AMD AM5 X870E and X870 motherboards, users can benefit from DDR5 memory kits with faster clock speeds. Furthermore, the new chipset features PCIe Gen 5 functionality as standard across both M.2 NVMe and graphics ports.

Apart from the high-end motherboards, including X870E and X870, AMD intends to launch its mid-tier B850 and B840 chipsets aimed at the mass market. However, they are expected to launch much later, probably sometime next year.

The Ryzen 9000 CPUs were officially unveiled earlier this month, promising new advancements for gaming, productivity, and more. Following AMD’s domination of the CPU market, expectations are high for another exciting series of processors.

However, AMD has clarified that the Ryzen 7000X3D will continue to be the best choice for gaming-centric PC builds. PC gamers can expect this lineup to be dethroned once the Ryzen 9000X3D refresh comes along.
