Slides Mention AMD X570 chipset with PCI-Express 4 with launch in Computex Timeframe

In yet another slide that got leaked we see something interesting from the AMD front. Matisse basically is what is to be AMD's Ryzen 3, which will be based on Zen 2 cores. The chipset for it is called X570, and would see PCIe 4.0 support.

The leaked slide from gamer.com.tw is a little peculiar in the sense that seems slightly dated with B450 chipset and Athlon 200GE highlighted. They do look valid enough though.

X570 would launch at Computex 2019, which runs from 28 May to 1 June 2019. So from here onwards we can assume Ryzen 3000 based on Zen2 cores would at least be announced in roughly half a year time. Good times.

I wonder if there's gonna be DDR5 support too. X570 could be first with PCIe 4 and DDR5 support should be in the next 6-12 months.

So if I understand this correctly, both Zen 2 and the 500 series chipsets will use PCIe 4.0? And if you were to use a Zen 1 or Zen+ CPU, your GPU and main M.2 slot would be gen 3.0?

I wonder if there's gonna be DDR5 support too. X570 could be first with PCIe 4 and DDR5 support should be in the next 6-12 months.

I'm pretty sure no existing AM4 CPUs are compatible with DDR5, so I'm pretty sure that isn't going to happen.
They'll likely create socket AM5 for DDR5 support.

^ Yes AM5 is for DDR5 as far as I understand it to, can't remember whether that'll be Zen 3 or 4 though (curse my rubbish memory!)

Also on the M.2 slot, I think they will increase the Pcie Nvme standard from 3.0 x4 to 3.0 x8 (Double Bandwidth) for future proofing, if required. Since Pcie 4.0 doubles the badwidth like previous generations, it would make sense to have Pcie 4.0 x4 for the SSDs.

I have a Adata XPG 8200, and already, it seems to be under performing on Pcie 3.0 x2

Most I care about is not PCIe 4.0, but rather DDR5.

I m happy with ddr4 controllers able to hit the top ddr4 available, like 4600Mhz. That would be a 40% bump in bandwidth and i do not think with first gen ddr5 you will get so much and improved ipc. If i can do that on my actual x470 the upgrade is worth
