AMD presents premium X670E motherboards from ASUS, MSI, ASRock, Gigabyte and Biostar
At AMD Meet The Expert, representatives from board partners talked about and showed off the new flagship X670 boards. This includes both the X670E and non-Extreme series.
The X670 motherboards are fitted with the new AM5 socket and support for PCIe Gen5 storage. Gen5 support for next-generation graphics can be added as an option, none of the companies have said what the fastest DDR5 memory speed is that any of these boards can support. The boards displayed:
ASUS
The Crosshair X670E Hero is the first new design to be shown. It has an 18+2 phase design and 110A power stages (the Extreme includes 20+2 stages). It will also lack 10G networking, however, it will have a 2.5G network. The Q-Latch M.2 and Q-Release will make it simple to install M.2 drives and quickly remove discrete desktop GPUs.
MSI
MSI is displaying its MEG GODLIKE design here. It's a 24+2 phase E-ATX motherboard with 105A power stages. MSI validates that M-Vision Dashboard is included (on-board information screen). M.2 XPANDER-Z Gen5 Dual storage expansion card will be included with both 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.
ASROCK is displaying their X670E PG Lightning motherboard for the first time; all other motherboards have already been displayed.
Gigabyte has four X670E motherboards on display, including the premium XTREME and MASTER models. The AORUS PRO AX and AORUS ELITE MX models are also unveiled. The XTREME motherboard has an 18+2+2 phase design, whilst the remainder of the AORUS series has 16+2+2.
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.

So is the X670E completely PCI-E 5? Or only to the GPU and nvme, like AL?

Two PCIe 5.0 x16 slots stand ready for the cutting-edge graphics cards of today and tomorrow. Between its two onboard slots and the three additional slots made available through the ROG PCIe 5.0 M.2 card and the ROG GEN-Z.2 card, the ROG Crosshair X670E Extreme offers five total M.2 slots. Four support PCIe 5.0 x4 mode. Heatsinks for all the slots, including those on the add-in cards, ensure that you get the full performance of your drives without throttling. Six SATA 6Gbps ports let you establish an even larger storage array so you never have to ration your game library.

Sorry Biostar, i don't care which VRM you use in your boards, you lost me like 20 years ago. BTW the Chrosshair extreme IO looks amazing, thats the amount of USB people need, i'm very excited with this platform (i just wish something like thunderbolt come fast for AMD plaforms)
Urm they have USB 4.0 so it is fully compatible with thunderbolt 4

not totally sure but i believe that's one of the differences between the high end boards and mainstream

Doesn't look like other brands are much cheaper. Atleast on the high end side. Too expensive they all are for shure!
