I’m excited by the Gene as I love the size of mATX systems. I think this is the first ever Gene for an AMD platform. I remember using a Gene for my original 4790k build when that came out.
Next to the ATX power connector, is that a six pin PCIE connection going in to the motherboard?

ASUS introduces first X670E Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX motherboards for AMD AM5 platform - VideoCardz.com
New X670E motherboards arrive from ROG, ProArt, and ASUS Prime Every day, the full launch of AMD’s next-gen AM5 platform gets a little closer. To date, we’ve announced the flagship ROG Crosshair X670E Extreme motherboard and a selection of boards from ROG, ROG Strix, and TUF Gaming. Now, we’re...

Yup, everyone is cutting prices for the upcoming generation. But at $700 the extreme still looks expensive next to gigabyte as gigabyte cut their extreme down to $500

Yeah but $700 is less than their previous gen and much less then the Intel version then. Has anyone got link about the prices mind. Google generally just brings up the silly figures from the previous 5 days.
That does look quite good. I used to have a Maximus V Gene and always liked the size, especially after moving to full ATX with my next mobo. I could be wrong, but it looks like there may only be 1 x M.2 onboard with the others via an add-in card.
It's strange to see a PS/2 port, I haven't seen that on their other X670E boards.
I think there’s a total of three M.2’s :
‘The motherboard features two DDR5 DIMM slots, a total of four SATA III ports, and an additional PCIe Gen 4.0 x1 slot. There are two M.2 slots on the board itself whereas two additional ports are provided by the Gen-Z.2 card which fits within the slot next to the DDR5 DIMMs.’

7700x shows up in Cinebench, 25% faster than 5800x in both single and multithreaded
But this improvement doesn't look like it's enough to beat Raptor lake with the 13700k beating the 7700x in both single and multithread. To be fair the difference is minor in single thread, with 13700k 5% ahead over the 7700x but in multithread there is no comparison and it's probable that even the 13600k will easily beat the 7700x in multithread

AMD Ryzen 7 7700X 8-Core Zen 4 CPU Benchmark Leaked, 25% Faster Single & 26% Faster Multi-Threaded Performance Versus 5800X
The first benchmark of AMD's Ryzen 7 7700X, an 8 Core Zen 4 CPU, has been leaked by Bilibili's content creator, Extreme Player.

I'm thinking we won't see lower cost thunderbolt 4/usb4 x670 boards until next year (or later). On LGA1700, there's the Asus Prime Z690-A (DDR5), with 2 rear thunderbolt 4 ports, priced <£300.
So far for AM5, there's the Asus Prime X670-P (wifi /non wifi versions), with no thunderbolt 4 ports.

Users will need to weigh up the cost of the platform indeed, with x670 maybe the CPU performance won't quite match Intel and the upfront price may be a bit higher but it's highly likely that the x670 board will be able to slot in next years v cache zen4 models and also zen5
I think a lot of people will just buy B650 or lower spec x670 boards, forgo features like usb4. Prices on the higher spec boards should fall a bit, next year.
Edit - I got it wrong, the Asus Prime Z690-A only has a Thunderbolt 4 header (but is still sold as supporting thunderbolt 4...).
There is an ASRock LGA1700 board with a single Thunderbolt 4 port that can be found for less than £300, as follows:
ASRock Z690 Phantom Gaming-ITX/TB4
In general though, it seems like it will remain a premium feature.

It comes down to price, its listed there at $299.
The 5700X is £300
The 12700K is £420
The 12600K is £300
Unless Intel slash their prices on the 13 series its going to be very competitive.

+26% in MT, with the same core count.
If 10% of that is IPC its running at 5.4Ghz, that's 5.4Ghz Multithreaded in Cinebench.
If we consider the 5950X only runs at about 4.0Ghz MT in Cinebench and scores 26,000, with +10% IPC at 5.4Ghz the 7950X would score about 38,500.
If true i think it quite impressive how much more performance AMD have managed without changing the core count.

And is not stable..?
Soldato
that's what i thought too unless i'm not understanding the tweet. seems it was unstable at 5.4 but stable (P95) at 5.2

It's not a surprise to see a lower frequency for P95 vs CB. That's the case for Intel and AMD. P95 small/avx2 draws a lot more current and thus heat compard to CB.
Caporegime
Certainly if you're trying to lock frequecies, if its anything like Zen 3 it will dynamically boost as high as it can depending on how much current the CPU is pulling, heat, load, ecte.... if you try to lock it to a fixed frequency and voltage like an old FX-8350 it'll just fail.
