AMD Zen 2 (Ryzen 3000) - *** NO COMPETITOR HINTING ***

[Skynet5]

Sorry, wasn't meant to come across like that - I state it that way to see how our requirements compare, so, like to see what others want from their next CPU. But "I'd" can be "You'd" in the case of my last reply, ie, "You'd really not want less than 8 cores buying new now".

Lol, I didn't mean it like that. My "me me me" was referring to me being who you are referring to in the last sentence. I'm upgrading! As soon as they are up for pre-order. Be damned the reviews...itll be a major upgrade for me either way.

Oh, ha. Tired, misunderstood

My laziness in typing more than likely.

Don't think I've seen this yet?

 

[Random Guy Esq.]

Excellent. If accurate, there'll be a choice of ITX boards at launch.

 

[Beren]

It looks like a really good spread of boards, it is going to be interesting to see what the new chipset brings to the table.

Impact? IMAPCT? If this list is accurate then 16 core confirmed. We've not seen an Impact since Z170 and AMD never had one, so why wheel out after almost 4 years those insanely over-engineered boards with those mental power daughterboards for something as puny as 8 cores?

I am excite, Asteria II may well get a Ryzen-based sister

I love my Asus itx board, would consider an amd one but itx case is a bit small for me now with an aio CPU and an aio card in my case, looks cramped. Will be going matx in the future.

Going by current matx amd boards, it appears MSI mortar is the winner. Will see if they bring out a new one.

What's the advantages of a X variant board over a B variant (Say X470 over B450?)
Excuse my ignorance, I've not looked at upgrade items such as this since 2011.

SLI, Nvidia want money if you put SLI on a board.

Different PCIE lane count and split, different quantity of usb 3.1, different SATA port count.

This table shows it pretty well:

Thanks for the explanation and link. The link says access denied but managed to get the image I think through googling your link.

Several online market places have good deals on the 2700x ive seen at 269 and 2700 at 220 so make you think it cant be long to release

Hoping to see higher quality motherboards for X570, would like to see a few more bells and whistles

Prices do seam to be coming down for 2700/2700x, though the 2600's seem to be staying pretty flat.

1700's are a steal at the moment though at £140

I want a mobo with everything except I don't want to pay for sound.

I have an ae-5. Is there a range that is good for over clocking, but doesnt add expensive sound components?

Everything has onboard sound.

What in the world could you strap onto a mainstream consumer board that we don't already have and is useful/appropriate for this market segment?

I'd like to see more refinement in core areas of the design (VRMs, etc.) but more "bells and whistles" I can't think what they'd be.

 

[Toasty]

More like the best intel boards I guess he means, Asus have a x570 Formula this time it seems so could be going that way.

You could maybe have a mini Goblin Teasmade fitted on the mobo.

It could be optionally plumbed into a water cooling loop as well, to aid in the heating.

Would be handy to be able to have a cuppa without going down to the kitchen.
