Yesterday AMD held a special event called “Meet The Expert” where we had the opportunity to learn more about the keys to AM5 motherboards with X670E and X670 chipsets. These new boards will be the backbone on which the new high-performance Zen 4 processor ecosystem will be built, replacing the current AM4 platform, although it’s important to note that Sunnyvale has made it clear that it still has “a lot of life ahead of it”. ».

The AM5 platform will introduce a new socket, LGA1718, and will mean abandoning the classic contact system based on a pin matrix in favor of a system based on gold-plated flat contacts. This is the same system Intel has used for years and generally has the advantage of being more robust and unaffected by thermal expansion. The platform will also introduce other important news such as support for DDR5 memory and compatibility with the standard PCIe Gen5.

During the event, we had the opportunity to get acquainted with some of the most important motherboards that will hit the market based on the X670E and X670 chipsets from manufacturers such as GIGABYTE, ASUS, MSI, ASRock and Biostar, and the truth is, hats off to both the design and build quality these big five have managed to achieve.
