This is the flagship chipset and will be found on all the most feature-packed, and by proxy, the most expensive motherboards for AM5. This comes with PCIe support for both the graphics and the NVMe storage, so it’s the most feature-rich and future-proof overall. If you’re into extreme systems and overclocking, this is where you’ll start.
“When only the fastest will do, an AMD X670E motherboard delivers. Featuring dual-channel DDR5 memory, AMD EXPO™ technology and PCIe® 5.0 support for both graphics and NVMe, you can play the most demanding games and deliver your biggest projects with the revolutionary performance of an AMD X670E motherboard and AMD Ryzen™ 7000 Series processors.”
This is typically where many high-end PC enthusiasts will want to invest. Designed for high-end gaming and content creation. The X670 will likely be priced a lot friendlier than X670E, but it still offers the PCIe advantages for storage, and while it may lack PCIe graphics slots, there’s no huge advantage to that technology at this time.
“For performance customization, build your PC with an AMD X670 motherboard for AMD Ryzen 7000 Series processors. With dual-channel DDR5 memory, AMD EXPO™ technology and PCIe® 5.0 support for NVMes, set yourself up for extreme gaming and creating with an X670 board.”
I’ve long been a user of the B-series of motherboards from AMD, having built several systems using these more affordable solutions, that more often than not, offer all the high-end features a typical gaming PC requires, without going completely overboard with additional features, and most importantly, cost.
“If you are a serious gamer or creator, you will want an AMD B650E motherboard. With PCIe® 5.0 support for your NVMe drive and DDR5 support featuring AMD EXPO™ technology, AMD B650E is packed with features that help speed up your game.”
This is the most affordable entry into AM5, but don’t be fooled into thinking this is “basic” as you still get DDR5 memory, AMD EXPO, PCIe NVMe support and more. However, as we’ve seen before, it’ll likely have more trimmed back aesthetics and heatsinks, and fewer I/O ports to keep the cost down while retaining all the new features.
“An AMD B650 motherboard is your foundation for must-have gaming performance. Usher in the new age of DDR5 memory, AMD EXPO™ technology, and optional PCIe® 5.0 support for an NVMe drive with an AMD B650 motherboard.”
