AMD X870E Chipset
When only the fastest will do, an AMD X870E motherboard delivers. With USB 4.0 onboard along with robust overclocking capabilities, featuring faster dual-channel DDR5 memory support, 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 X870E motherboard and AMD Ryzen™ 9000, 8000, and 7000 Series processors.
As many enthusiasts have noticed, compared to the AMD 600 series chipsets, the X870/X870E chipset offers nothing new besides USB4 support. It’s still a good design that is fully satisfying for most users. In this case, users should focus on motherboard features, which have improved since the last generation. As usual, it depends on the model and how much money we will spend.
