AM5 platform launched four chipsets this time, namely X670E, X670, B650E and B650. The X series focuses on overclocking and power supply designs, and supports PCIe 5.0 storage and graphics cards. It will be launched in September.
B650 series is for more mainstream users and also supports PCIe 5.0 graphics cards and storage, but can only use one at the same time. It will be launched in October, with a starting price of US$125. It is almost the starting point of a thousand-yuan motherboard.
Among these 4 chipsets, the X670E is of course the highest-end, and it is actually composed of two X670 south bridges, so the IO expansion is twice as rich. Some netizens exposed the structural diagram of the X670E motherboard of a certain manufacturer, as shown below Show: The CPU and South Bridge can provide IO expansion in the
Ryzen 7000 platform. The CPU part provides PCIe 5.0 x4 M.2, PCIe 5.0 x16, PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 and HDMI 2.0. The USB interface can also support USB 3.2 Gen1 , USB 3.2 Gen2 and USB 2.0. Not to mention the two south bridges of
. In addition to multiple PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 extensions, it also supports USB 3.2 Gen1, USB 3.2 Gen2x2, USB 2.0/1.1, etc.
Overall, if the Ryzen 7000 is paired with the X670E motherboard, there are at least four or five M.2 slots alone, including PCIe 5.0 and 4.0, and the USB interface can reach up to 22, and at least 2 full-featured USB 3.2 Gen2x2, which is with 20Gbps speed, 10Gbps USB 3.2 Gen2 interfaces have at least 6, and 5Gbps and below are even more.
has so many USB interfaces, no matter how many external USB devices, , are not afraid of insufficient interfaces.
Other extension interfaces such as M.2 or PCIe x2/x1 are also sufficient. However, SATA interface only retains 4. However, if there are a large number of M.2 hard disk interfaces, SATA devices do not have that much demand, 4 are enough. Used.
