AMD Uncovers a bit more on the X370 chipset
Yesterday you've seen plenty of X370 motherboards pass by, but little is known about them. New slides indicate new features, let's have a look at them.
The new slides confirm USB 3.1 (Gen2) support at 10 Gbps with combined several normal USB 3.0 ports as well as 4 SATA3 ports for X370. These boards will also get two SATA express ports. The chipset will offer eight acht PCI-Express 2.0 lanes. The processor itself supplies PCI-Express 3.0 lanes.
With a X370 chipset and a Ryzen CPU nets you six SATA ports, 32 lanes of PCIe connectivity, two USB 3.1 ports, and ten USB 3.0 ports. That's certainly not bad, but it puts the AM4 platform much closer to Intel's regular desktop machines than the Broadwell-E setups that come to mind when we talk about 8-core processors.
In other news, all Ryzen CPUs will be unlocked for overclocking, have a peek at the slides.
BLEH!

I was really hoping to see a Quad Channel option.
I know the difference between 2 and 4 channel is not an issue in Most real world applications, not even a difference at all in most cases.
I believe it would make a big difference to some things I personally sometimes do relating to cryptography and was planning on building my next system with a leaning towards this. I've not actually tested the effect of memory bandwidth on such large data sets held in memory, just always pushed for the most bandwidth I could squeeze out of my system.
The option would have been nice to play with though

It would have made a difference with their APU lineup, but at the same time we're talking costs here and like you said, not much of a difference between the two.
I'm excited for this though. I just got a new laptop since my mobo is kaput right now, but now I'm thinking I'm building a Zen machine when the time comes!

I am just glad that this is looking to be better zen bulldozer.

feel less entusiasted...
Put blue in place of red and it might look as an Intel's chipset preview, and not only because of the name scheme.
I was expecting more from AMD (from the X mainly) with all the hype around the company right now.
On other hand it's only about chipset... Company will unlock OC and add more feature with extra chip for sure.
