AMD X670E Extreme Chipset, 20Gbps USB-C and Gigabyte Aorus Gen5 AIC

We're Going to cover 3 Technologies with this Video today. 1. AMD Chipset X670 Extreme. 2. 20Gbps USB-C 2x2. 3. Gigabyte Aorus Gen5 AIC which is a X16 Card that requires 4x4x4x4, 16 Lanes, fully Bifurcated. Of the 4 Requirements... 1. PCIe 5.0. 2; A X16 PCIe Slot; 3. Full Motherboard Bios Bifurcation of 4x4x4x4; 4. Requires 4 M.2 NVMe PCIe 5.0 Drives. 1st Generation of those will be 10,000MBps per Drive. The Spec for PCIe 5.0 NVMe can take that to 15,000MBps per Drive. Expect to see 3 Generations of NVMe Drives just as We had on PCIe 4.0. We'll be looking at the Phison E26 Controller when the times comes with Micron Memory. Of the 5 Motherboard Manufacturers, We're going to show 2 for an Overview and Implementation of PCIe 5.0 with Slots and Storage and what it takes to utilize the Aorus Gen5 AIC. We'll cover USB-C DisplayPort Alternate mode and Thunderbolt / USB4 PCIe Tunneling over USB4.

X670E Design vs Implementation - Consumer Desktop Motherboard
Faster CPU
Faster Chipset
Faster RAM
CPU Core count remains the same.
PCIe Lane count remains same.

Slots and Storage

USB-C can support 3 Technologies...
1. Data
2. USB Power Delivery
3. DP Alt Mode - DisplayPort Alternate-Mode

10Gbps USB-C - DP ALT Mode
20Gbps USB-C 2x2
40Gbps Thunderbolt 4 or USB4 - PCIe Tunneling over USB4
Thunderbolt 4 (Intel Maple Ridge JHL8540) or USB4 (ASMedia ASM4242).

Question: Lane count. Does a Device use 2 Lanes or 4 Lanes. Built on vs Add in card. Depends!

Can't wait for your overviews of all these new boards.

[stevepalmer]

Thanks for ALL your testing & analysis. Greatly appreciated!

[theonlyone]

Man, I'm learning so much from this content. Thank you so much!

[ericwanner]

Whatever things are getting tough I hope they improve and you get whatever help is needed. God bless!

[johntiles]

Love the Channel, keep up the hard work, The best straight to the point no nonsense factual information.

[crimestoppers]

Thank you! Saved me a lot of specification reading.

Looking forward to you looking at some of these boards once they're released, and letting us all know how we stand with expansion options.
What's important for folks to realise is that it'll be a long time before any GPU maxes out a 16 lane PCIe4 slot - never mind a x16 PCIe5 slot (even the new cards incoming). This means that they most certainly don't need to populate that primary 'main event' slot. What we will need to know is by how far we can 'downgrade' before fps/throughput is 'significantly' impacted. Can we, for example, go down to PCIe5 x4 slot? (= PCIe 4 x8 = PCIe3 x16) - if the answer is yes (for many use cases) then that opens up more possibilities.

I did hope AM5 a new socket would give us more I/O. 48 cpu lanes would be good.

Before the blizzard of "buy the top tier CPU if you call yourself an enthusiast" and how this new CPU is a must have regardless of expense, including the new motherboard (even though your current motherboard is only eight months old), and all of the DDR5 your new rig can stand so that you can get those extra 10 FPS on that $30 game, what I see is that AMD has taken the 5000 CPUs and modified existing products to stay within the parameters of a consumer motherboard. There's nothing wrong with that because some technologies and parts need to fade away anyway.

Eventually, if not sooner, CPU manufacturers are going to discover that system-on-a-chip (SOC) is going to be more profitable because eliminating the GPU and using integrated graphics is fairly common in the enterprise, which is where the money is. They have already eliminated the stock cooler, which reduces their manufacturing costs, so don't be surprised when integrated graphics become the best thing since sliced bread.

So now it's a matter of finding out that in order to give us this, they had to eliminate that. My guess is that the SATA support is going to be reduced if you going to have additional M.2 slots, which we have already explored.

My thing is that if you are a content creator, how much of a difference is the new architecture going to make; outside of additional speed, what else is a content creator going to get.

AMD used to promise a 6-core processor for $100, now they promise a 6-core processor for $300 - I don't believe AMD. Intel 6 cores cheaper
