MSI has revealed its upcoming MEG X870E GODLIKE motherboard, designed for the next-gen AMD Ryzen 9000 series CPUs based on the Zen 5 architecture. The motherboard boasts a massive E-ATX form factor, an impressive 28 power phases with 110A power stages, DDR5-8000+ memory support, and a dedicated 8-pin power connector for multi-GPU configurations.
GIGABYTE has launched its new X870 EAGLE Wi-Fi 7 motherboard, designed specifically for AMD’s upcoming Zen 5-powered Ryzen 9000 series CPUs. The motherboard boasts a 6-layer PCB, robust VRM with 14+2+2 power phases, and long aluminum heatsinks for optimal cooling. It also features an RGB-lit ‘EAGLE’ logo for enhanced aesthetics.
Gigabyte has officially confirmed the existence of AMD’s next-generation Ryzen 9000 series processors in a press release announcing a new BIOS update for its X670, B650, and A620 motherboards. This BIOS update adds support for the upcoming CPUs, specifically referring to them as “AMD Ryzen 9000 series processors.” While MSI and Asus have also added support for Ryzen 9000 through BIOS updates, neither company has explicitly named the processors in their announcements.
AMD has not yet officially announced the Ryzen 9000 processors, but rumors suggest they will launch in the second half of 2024. The recent BIOS updates from major motherboard manufacturers indicate that the launch may be sooner rather than later.
Computex 2024, which takes place in Taiwan in a little over a month, is a likely venue for AMD to unveil the Zen 5-based Ryzen 9000 CPUs. The flagship chip is rumored to feature 16 Zen 5 cores, split into two eight-core chiplets. AMD is also expected to release Zen 5 CPUs with its 3D V-Cache technology later in the year or early next year.
