***Tidy Up of the Thread. Below are the X570 Boards being released by Gigabyte for Aorus and Gigabyte brands. You'll find Product link pages, PR pictures and real life snaps along with board details and video breakdowns
X570 AORUS Xtreme is Gigabytes Flagship Board feature 16 phases at 70amps each! 14 x 70A = 980A cross the vCore and 2 x 70A = 140A for SoC
PWM controller 16 channels !

Xtreme at Computex 2019
Unboxing
Next In the line up is Mainstream Flagship;
X570 AORUS Master featuring 14 phase. As mentioned before, upgrade over the z390 Master.
Board uses IR 3556 , 12 X 50A = 600A across VCore , 2 x 50A for SoC

Master pictured at Computex 2019
Next up the running is the X570 Aorus Ultra featuring 14 Phases.
Unlike the Master, the Ultra uses the slightly less power IR3553 40A integrated mosfets . 12 For the VCore and 2 PPak Integrated Mosfet for the SoC.
Also unlike the Master the Boards uses 6 doublers as the Ultra features an 8 Channel PWM, the Master and Xtreme utilise a 16 Channel Controller
The Ultra features a 8+4 pin set up for powering the AM4 socket, Master and Xtreme feature dual 8 pins . All 4 boards including the Pro would handle a 16 core Ryzen 3950x easily enough, dual 8 pins allow more power for extreme overclocks and cleaner power deliver

Buildzoid breakdown
Hot on the Heals of the Ultra is the X570 Aorus Pro (with or without AX Wifi )
Ultra Features the exact same VRM set up as the Ultra, main differences bar looks is the VRM cooling. Only one heatsink uses the finned design.
Also M.2 slots going from 3 to 2 as well as differing PCIe 4.0 lane distribution

Board at Computex 2019
Introducing Aorus's entry Board, The X570 AORUS Elite
Key differences over the Elite are a lower PCB layer count of 4 from the above 6/8.
There is only a single 8 Pin power plug - though still fine for 12 core at stock.
The VRM set up still features a 12+2 set up, and whilst using higher Amp mosfets (50A), they are slightly lower in quality (Run slightly hotter and lower thermal threshold)

Board at Computex 2019
Gigabyte's Entry board and following on the Huge performance of the Z390 UD over the Z370 Aorus boards is the Gigabyte X570 GAMING X
Featuring a 10+2 Phase design and 4 Layer PCB like the Elite , its one of the highest spec'd entry and sub $200 board there is!
Although at ONLY 10 Phases for the VCore, they are 60A units ! and integrated !!!

Bring up the Rear is the outstanding X570I AORUS ITX board!
Featuring an 8 Layer PCB design ( same as the Xtreme) , which will allow for some huge RAM overclocks as well as it being a Two Dimm design!
With space being prime and in short supply, the board features 6 leading Mosfets in the form of 70a TDP units for its VCore and 2 40a IR3533 for its SoC !
