Existing tipsters released a set of MSI and AMD internal meeting site photos, including AMD’s new generation AM5 chipset PPT presentation, which appeared never before B650E chipset.
As previously revealed in the news, the AMD B650E chipset and X670E positioning, although different, but are the main “Extreme”, can support dual PCIe Gen5 protocol for graphics and storage. For the non-E series, the X670 and B650 will only support one of the graphics or storage (PCIe slots or M.2 slots to be exact).
Unlike the X670 series, the B650E will come with a Promontory 21 chipset that will shrink the number of PCIe lanes.
While AMD was previously rumored to be working on another B650 chipset, the Extreme model has only appeared in leaks so far. This new PPT finally confirms that AMD is indeed bringing at least four different chipsets to its AM5 platform.
Later today, AMD will announce new details on its Ryzen 7000 series and possibly on the AM5 platform itself, though the B650 motherboard is not expected to debut next month, but rather a bit later than the other three series.
The new AMD Socket AM5 platform features a new 1718-pin LGA design that supports processors with up to 170W TDP, dual-channel DDR5 memory and new SVI3 power infrastructure. AMD Socket AM5 also features PCIe 5.0 lanes with up to 24 of them.
According to AMD’s official website, the AM5 series motherboards are divided into three main series: ・ X670 Extreme: Provides PCIe5.0 support for two graphics slots and one memory slot.
・X670 Extreme: PCIe5.0 support for two graphics slots and one memory slot, bringing powerful connectivity and higher overclocking performance
・X670: PCIe5.0 support for one memory slot and one graphics slot (with PCIe5.0 support for the graphics slot optional), designed for enthusiast overclockers
・B650: With PCIe 5.0 support for memory slots, designed for high-performance users.
