ASRock X670E Pro RS Motherboard Product Page Is Live
Interestingly, the unannounced ASRock X670E Pro RS (AM5 ) Motherboard Product Page is live. The ASRock the product website now includes a few of more board pictures and a look at the rear I/O. This time, the M.2 slot for a WiFi card is also occupied.
The motherboard contains one "Blazing" M.2 slot for a PCIe 5.0 SSD and three "PCIe 4.0" M.2 slots, two of which share a heatsink and one does not. The last M.2 slot can only support PCIe 3.0. The PCIe x16 slot on this X670E board is PCIe 5.0, which makes sense. Another feature is the Realtek Dragon 2.5 Gbps Ethernet controller, which includes gaming software. Only a line out, a mic in, and an optical S/PDIF connector are available on the Realtek ALC897 audio codec. The board contains a single USB-C port on the rear, however it is a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 port (20 Gbps). There are five USB-A 3.2 ports in total. One can achieve rates of up to 10 Gbps, while the other can reach speeds of up to 5 Gbps. There are four USB 2.0 ports, a DP connector, an HDMI port, and a UEFI/BIOS update button on the rear. There are six SATA ports and two USB 3.x type connectors as well. There is also an internal USB-C header and two unknown PCIe x1 slots. When the AM5 platform is released later this year, this should be one of the more affordable X670E boards.

I wonder what their definition of affordable will be? My AsRock X570 Phantom gaming 4 was only $150 by comparison.

Not seeing anything worth upgrading from X570s 3950x and 6950xt with DDR4 3600 14-15-15-35. If they can improve the latency on DDR5 then maybe....making it faster and increasing the latency does not impress me. I cant max out my current hardware and wont be able to for several years. Maybe a couple revisions down the road but gpus cant even utilize the PCIe 3 bandwidth and Idont use more than 30% cpu usage in any scenario other than benchmarks and those are only good to see the diminishing gains or losses from overclocking really.

Motherboard prices are going up. I would expect 25% increase from X570.

if someone wanted me to build them a Raphael E-ATX system this would be one of my recommendations for price/performance.
as far as codecs go don't let mobo audio be a determinative factor. outboard DACs are always better and can be had for the cost differential (tho' i would still recommend one to someone buying a higher end board)
i can't wait to see what they pull off in ITX as they impress the hell out of me @ that form factor.
