ASUS Confirms Existence of X590 Boards for AMD Ryzen CPUs

[Jism]

The motherboard is just the interconnect to every device in your computer. The (AMD) CPU holds all the key assets.

But apart from PCI-4.0, 5x0 doesnt offer that much benefit on top of a 4x0 board. Even a high-end 12 core CPU works perfectly fine on a 50$ budget board: https://www.techpowerup.com/review/amd-ryzen-9-3900x-tested-on-cheap-b350-motherboard/

Its because AMD changed the rules related to mobo vendors. They have to build a proper VRM in the first place to prevent a clusterfuck that happend on the FX platform, where motherboards where incapable of providing proper power to faster FX CPU´s (Causing throttling, lower performance).

Chipset support for PCI_E 4.0

Yeah because the X570 chipset wasn't hot enough
This is probably just X570 for the next TR iteration. Or at least that's my guess.

Indeed lol we need more heaters to circumvent the heating bill in the winter.

I just got this from Gure3d looks like it is for AM4.

"As you know, AMD uses the X570's design of the I/O dies of the Ryzen 3000 CPUs. There are a total of 24 PCIe 4.0 lanes on the processors, four of which are reserved for the interlink to the chipset. The X570 has 16 PCIe lanes plus four for the uplink to the processor. Perhaps the new X590 chipset has a full 24 PCIe lanes as that is the only tangible different I think of."

The only thing I can vaguely think of with this is that X599 will be a dual socket capable system.

Seems unlikely. Threadripper already offers a lot of cores. Dual socket until now has been exclusively for Epyc.

I'm going to be irritated if they use X590 for TR......

We've also had one chipset exclusively for threadripper as well until now. I could see Threadripper becoming a prosumer\workstation part, rather than the weird high end gaming thing it currently exists as.

But does it play Crysis ?

Ah cheap fanless version would be apreciated

Yeah, I don't think the HEDT market needs two different chipsets for TR. The whole gaming on TR thing, though, I never understood why.

Wait for the B550 (?) chipset.

I would find it incredibly odd if they named their HEDT platform with the same 'convention' as they did mainstream. The x99 part is what sets it apart from the x70 mainstream parts.

But there was a x90 part above the x70 that existed and has been absent for quite some time disregarding the x390 chipset that shelved last minute.

Sorry... I don't understand the association?

I'm just saying anything that ends with "99" has been HEDT and if they use that naming convention for a non HEDT part, it would be confusing.

My mistake, I thought you were lumping x90 and x99 together.
