AMD X670E motherboard already in reviewer’s hands
AORUS X670E Aorus Master ships to reviewer
AMD spares no time; the review samples of upcoming AMD X670E motherboards are already in reviewers hands.
Last week AMD made a formal showcase of its partner’s high-end X670E/X670 motherboard series. None of these are available yet, but the message was clear, both AMD and motherboard makers are ready for the launch of Ryzen 7000 series.

In fact, they are so ready that AMD board partners are now shipping X670E motherboards to reviewers. The first picture of a review sample out in the wild was posted by SkatterBencher, better known for his Threadripper 5000 overclocking guides. Since we are still more than a month away from the official launch of the new Ryzen series, this unit had to be shipped by Gigabyte themselves.
Gigabyte has provided the reviewer with a unit of X670E AORUS Master, the second-best motherboard from Gigabyte’s lineup. This board is equipped with 16+2+2 power phase design and supports up to four DDR5 memory modules.
The AORUS Master with AM5 socket supports up to four M.2 drives, two PCIe Gen5 x4 and two Gen4 x4, all supporting screwless design. In fact, Gigabyte motherboards also have easy quick release system for PCIe x16 slot as well.
According to the leaks, AMD is set to launch its Ryzen 7000 CPUs on September 15th, however, the formal announcement is now expected in late August. The X670 motherboards are reportedly also launching on the same day.

AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5000 series now available for the DIY market, 64 Zen3 cores for $6500
AMD Ryzen Threadripper with Zen3 cores is now available to everyone
AMD current-gen HEDT CPUs have been out for months, but the company did not launch the series to the DIY market until today.
The Threadripper 5000 PRO series were exclusively launched for Lenovo systems in March this year. It took another four months for other OEMs/system integrators to finally start offering Zen3-based CPUs with other motherboards. Today, the TR 5000 Pro finally launches for the DIY market, unlocking the series to all customers.
AMD confirmed that there will be no Threadripper non-PRO series moving forward. In an effort to ‘unify’ the product lines and simplify the choice for customers. All future Threadripper CPUs will use the same socket, chipset, and feature ‘PRO’ branding. However, the exact plans for Zen4 HEDT series have not been confirmed yet.
Since today is the official launch for the DIY market, reviewers focusing on ‘consumer’ hardware have published their reviews, here are some of them:
- TR 5975WX @ Level1Tech
- TR 5965WX @ Phoronix
- TR 5965WX @ CoolPC
- TR 5995WX @ HardwareUnboxed
- TR 5995WX & 5975WX @ Tom’s Hardware
AMD TR PRO series feature five models, but only three are now available for DIY builders. Unfortunately the prices for AMD HEDT series have skyrocketed, mainly due to lack of competition in this segment. The flagship 64-core CPU is to retail at 6,499 USD, while a 32-core version should cost 3,299 USD. Potential buyers should also prepare their budget for AMD WRX80 motherboards, because the WRX40 series are not compatible.

AMD shows off new partner motherboards
Flagship X670 boards
AMD and its partners have been showing off the new flagship X670 boards including the X670E and non-Extreme series.
The X670 motherboards have the new AM5 socket and support for PCIe Gen5 storage. Apparently, Gen5 support for next-generation graphics can be added as an option.
None of AMD’s partners mentioned what the DDR5 memory speed is for any of the boards.
MSI showed off its MEG GODLIKE design. This is a 24+2 phase E-ATX motherboard with 105A power stages. M.2 XPANDER-Z Gen5 Dual storage expansion card will be included with the MEG ACE and GODLIKE. The X670E Carbon is designed with 18+2 phase and 90A power stages. The screwless M.2 installation will be the same as in the MEG series.
BIOSTAR has introduced the Valkyrie, an ATX premium board featuring a 22-phase and 105A VRM architecture. It is compatible with PCIe Gen5 storage and GPU.
ASUS displayed its Crosshair X670E Hero. It has an 18+2 phase design and 110A power stages (the Extreme includes 20+2 stages). It has a 2.5G network. Its Q-Latch M.2 and Q-Release will make it easier to install M.2 drives and remove discrete desktop GPUs.
Gigabyte has four X670E motherboards, including the premium XTREME and MASTER models. The AORUS PRO AX and AORUS ELITE MX models are unveiled. The XTREME motherboard has an 18+2+2 phase design, whilst the remainder of the AORUS series has 16+2+2.
AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT and non-XT launching on August 11th
Still no word about MSRP
According to our sources, both the Radeon RX 6600 XT and the Radeon RX 6600 should launch on August 11th. Unfortunately, there is still no word about the suggested retail price, but so far it looks like there should be plenty of cards around.
In case you missed it earlier, both the XT and non-XT versions of the Radeon RX 6600 should be based on Navi 23 GPU with up to 8GB of GDDR6 memory and a 128-bit memory interface. The Radeon RX 6600 XT is expected to max out the Navi 23 GPU and pack 2048 Stream Processors, while the non-XT version should end up with 1792 Stream Processors.
We expect plenty of custom versions from day one, and so far, it appears there will be plenty of cards to go around and the recent drop in the price of both Nvidia and AMD graphics cards should fare well for the new upcoming cards as well.
The Radeon RX 6700 XT launch back in March with a $479 MSRP but was selling closer to $800, so hopefully, we won’t see the same trend with the Radeon RX 6600 series as well. Unfortunately, there is still no word on the actual MSRP of the Radeon RX 6600 series, so hopefully, we’ll hear more as we draw closer to August 11th.
