ASRock partage quelques détails supplémentaires sur sa carte mère Taichi X670E

It would appear that we’re slowly getting closer to the launch of AMD’s AM5 platform, as ASRock just put up its first X670E motherboard on its website. The page still has very limited information and there’s only a single picture of the motherboard, which is the same one that the company shared at Computex. Cependant, we now get a few more details with regards to what to expect in terms of additional features. Pour commencer, ASRock has gone for a 26-phase SPS Dr.MOS power design, which should be plenty even for the most avid overclocker. The board has a pair of PCIe 5.0 x16 slots that operate in dual x8 mode when both slots are used. In addition to this there are four M.2 slots, where ASRock has decided to call the CPU connected slot for Blazing, as it’s PCIe 5.0, whereas the three PCIe 4.0 slots are using the Hyper name the company has used so far.

The board also has eight SATA ports, deux Thunderbolt 4 ports, which apparently are USB4 certified as well and a header for a USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 (20 Gbit/s) case mounted port. Furthermore the board has five rear USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbit/s) USB-A ports around the back, plus three USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbit/s) ports and a further four via headers, as well as a single HDMI port of unknown version. ASRock has gone for an Intel Killer E3100G 2.5 Gbps Ethernet controller and an Intel Killer AX1675X WiFi 6E and Bluetooth card, with the combo having Killer DoubleShot Pro support. Finally audio is via a Realtek ALC4082 USB connected audio codec and an ESS Sabre 9218 DAC. Overall this looks like a pretty kitted out board without too much excessive bling and will hopefully be priced accordingly.
