GIGABYTE Readies X570S AERO G Motherboard
GIGABYTE is giving finishing touches to its new motherboard targeted at creators who like to game, and premium desktop builders, the X570S AERO G. This marks the debut of the company's AERO brand, associated with notebooks, over to the desktop PC components segment. The board's aesthetics appear more in line with the company's VISION line of products. The Socket AM4 motherboard is based on the new AMD X570S chipset, a low-power version of the X570 that can make do with fanless cooling.
What sets the X570S AERO G apart is its five M.2 NVMe Gen 4 slots, leveraging the PCIe Gen 4 downstream connectivity of the X570S. You also get two PCI-Express 4.0 x16 slots (x8/x8 with both populated), and creator-relevant connectivity that includes 2.5 GbE wired LAN, Wi-Fi 6E, and GIGABYTE's highest onboard audio grade. Thunderbolt connectivity is unlikely to be found. The board will come with out-of-the-box support not just for Ryzen 5000 "Vermeer" processors, but also Ryzen 5000G "Cezanne" APUs, which it wires out through DisplayPort and HDMI ports.
Update Jul 5th: GIGABYTE formally launched the X570S AERO G. It lacks 10 GbE, unlike previously reported, offers 2.5 GbE, and comes with USB 3.2x2 (20 Gbps) ports.

Also, weird lineup given that the B550 Vision D has TB but lacks the PCIe lanes, and the X570 Aero G has the lanes and 10Gbe LAN but no TB.
The Vision boards have always looked decent (except Z490 Vision D yuck), but I'm still waiting for X570/B550 to get that Vision D ITX treatment - doesn't even have to be a D model with TB, just the aesthetic of the G. Wishful thinking I guess, given how late in AM4's lifecycle we are now.
Also:@btarunr that's not true, I can see 2 x USB-C in the rear I/O. There is no TB logo though as you'll see on other Vision D boards, so you're right in that there's no TB, which fully makes sense given it's a G board. Likely Gen2 or Gen2x2.

and Blue is correct, the specs dont seem to match up (and it does have USB-C)

To be frank, Designare was terrible to memorize. Vision is way too plain and non-expressive. Aero atleast suggests something "light" ... altho I feel like this isn't the end of it.
