Here's what we know about Rog Crosshair X670e (XTREME) EXTREME.

In autumn, the AMD AM5 platform will appear on desktop computers, and we can expect the appearance of not only motherboards X670 and B650 with Zen 4 processors, but also the new X670E (the letter “E” means “extreme”) chipset. This chipset will find application in the largest and most cool AMD motherboards; Providing the maximum ability to accelerate, massive VRM and PCIe 5.0 in everything.

To understand what X670E can offer, we must first look at the AM5 socket. This is a completely new design for AMD, thanks to which the company will abandon its chips with an array of contacts (PGA) in favor of the chips with the Earth massif (LGA). The switch will see that AMD is more like the existing Intel line with contact contacts located on the motherboard - 1718 of them in the case of AM5.

David Makafi from AMD says that the transition to LGA also helps "ensure greater power and greater integrity of the signal for all high-speed inputs."

Several other key points relating to AM5: AMD developed a socket that initially provides power up to 170 watts, which should provide a decent dispatch for acceleration without any additional efforts, although, probably, some manufacturers of the maternal boards will exceed the specifications, at least high- END models.

“The AM5 coquet ecosystem also includes a completely new SVI3 power infrastructure. This gives the platform many advantages, such as support for additional phases of power for higher power supply to the motherboard, accurate power control and significantly faster voltage response. ", - says Makafi.

The X670 Material boards are guaranteed to offer PCIe 5.0 and SSD graphics, although, again, the exact configuration will depend on the manufacturer of the devices. They have up to 24 PCIe 5.0 lines with which you can play, depending on the processor in the socket, so how they will distribute them will depend on the brand and model of the motherboard.

DDR5 memory will appear on the AMD platform with AM5, which will allow the red command to compare with Intel in memory speed.

And, perhaps, the best thing is that the processor coolers created to work with the AM4 socket popular today will also be compatible with AM5. This should save you some money if you hope to switch to the Zen 4 chip in the future.

So, this is the AM5 platform, and the motherboards X670E, in fact, offer the best of what is offered in one motherboard.

Most of the information we have about how the X670e motherboard actually will look from ASUS with her ROG Crosshair X670e Extreme.

What makes Crosshair so "extreme"? 20+2 VRM at 110 A, for example. This power is enough for serious overclocking, and AMD stated that its DDR5 two -channel memory will have the largest dispatch supply. However, we do not yet know what opportunities AMD Ryzen will have the 7000th series.

In any case, there should be no problems with the connection. Crosshair offers two M.2 slots, which can be expanded up to five M.2 with two M.2 extension cards, four of which will work with the full capacity of PCIe 5.0 X4.

In any case, there is still a lot of things here that the Gamer on the PC may like: Wi-Fi 6e, 10GB LAN, quad-core DAC ESS ES9218PQ, Anime Matrix display and a bunch of USB ports (including USB4).

As for the competitors of Crosshair, that is, the double “extreme” from Gigabyte in the form of the X670e Aorus XTREME, although the company has not yet told in detail about this fee. Other X670 motherboards include ASROCK X670E TAICHI, BIOSTAR X670E Valkyrie and MSI MEG X670 Ace, and, of course, others will follow.

With these maternal boards, AMD again strengthens its position in the High-End market for ultranthusiasts. The red team in the near future is not going to return to its budget processors. Although it is worth saying that the motherboard, which most gamers need is probably far as powerful as Crosshair is higher: it is guaranteed to cost a lot of money, and the reasonable B650 or X670 will probably be the best purchase.
