ASRock readies nine AMD X570 motherboards with Zen2 / Ryzen 3000 support
All signs indicate some sort of Ryzen 3000 (7nm) aka Matisse release half way this year, likely we'll see new announcements on Computex. Motherboard manufacturers are already warming up their SMT lines, as ASRock apparently prepares seven AMD X570 motherboards.
Much has been said and spoken about Ryzen 3000. The initial procs will have up to eight cores and the package holds a 14nm IO chip and a 7nm CPU die, chiplets as it's called. The procs will be announced with a new Series 500 chipset for motherboards. ASRock is working on that, AMD X570 including the ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming X and ASRock X570 Taichi to serve the top segment of the market, the ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming, ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming 4 and ASRock X570 Extreme4 the middle segment and the entry segment consists of the ASRock X570 Pro4, ASRock X570 Pro4 R2. 0, ASRock X570M Pro4 and ASRock X570M Pro4 R2.0.
How was this confirmed, well the Eurasian Economic Commission website lists these AMD X570 motherboards.

Based on that it looks like mobo manufacturers are really liking what they are seeing with Ryzen 3000. This ought to indicate single core performance ever closer to Intel's top models. On the other hand Intel can't manufacture as many CPUs as it should and thus raised the prices, meaning less people can afford their stuff, leaving more market for AMD. Mobo manufacturers would love to count on that. Let's hope this is also true with OEMs. When I'm reading brochures from electronics chain stores, it's still mostly only Intel inside, with some lone AMD based models here and there.
7 mainboards by ASrock alone? That's... a bit more than expected. Can't wait for Zen 2 / Ryzen 3000 though...

Doesn't seem that far off. There is 6 X470 boards that they advertise today, and a whooping 12 Z390 boards. 7 does not seem that ourageous.

As much as the new Ryzen might be good vs previous two gens, i'll wait for next Ryzen gen, the same way first Ryzen releases were kinda meh (the 1700 3.9GHz i had vs my current 2700X is not very good (in AC Origins a 4GHz 1700 average FPS is lower than a standard 2700X min FPS)) vs Ryzen Gen2 i expect the same now as they need to have a reason to sell whatever next ones will be, plus my 2700X reaches 4.5GHz (Boost not forced at all times) and can get 3600MHz RAM CL14 fine too, however there's no point since my GTX1080 is pretty bad to handle 3440x1400 and the extra power draw (not temps as those are pretty fine) is not even close to be worth the small gains due to the GTX1080 being a huge Bottleneck for this resolution.
But is nice to see new motherboards, i'm always on the watch for a white one to match my H440 case

Yeah that's true... I didn't mean it in a negative way at all, though.

Yes, good point on that improvement in the future for Zen2+ (Ryzen 4000). Although, for me personally, if there's a reasonable performance bump over my current build, I'd still give it a try. Damn upgrade itch...

Is it just me or this taichi motherboard on picture looks like mini atx? Definitely not itx but also doesn't look like full atx.

I wanted that was well. Two full PCIE slots along with at least one M.2. When I built my Ryzen 1800x based build I couldn't find anything mATX that wasn't very low end.

I was wondering if DDR5 would make it onto these boards and it might be a close call i dunno though but i think there could be DDR5 X570's.
Maybe at first we will see mixed ram slots, like 2 DDR4s and 2 DDR5s slots like we've seen before.

There's a difference (rather a big one) .
For the 1st gen ryzen, it was AMD's completely new cpu design after a very long time. It was natural that Ryzen+ would be polished to that extent that it would be noticable. But, incase of ryzen2, they will be working on an already somehow mature platform.

Just you, it has 5 expansion slots, and could do 6, possibly even 7 if the M.2 wasn't there.
Micro has 4
mini-itx has 1
mini-atx doesn't exist

It's becoming increasingly difficult not to be super excited about what AMD has coming down the pipe with the 3000 series this year, but I'm doing my best to be cautiously optimistic.

I've been eyeing ASRock for a while now as they've been making solid and reasonably priced products but my main choice will always be Gigabyte.

7 mainboards by ASrock alone? That's... a bit more than expected. Can't wait for Zen 2 / Ryzen 3000 though...
