ASRock X670E Pro RS Motherboard Product Page Goes Live

Slowly but surely, we're getting more and more details about upcoming AM5 motherboards and ASRock has put up a very spec light page for its upcoming X670E Pro RS motherboard. Not much has changed since the Computex reveal, but the product page did contain a couple of extra board shots as well as a look at the rear I/O. This time around the M.2 WiFi card slot is also populated, suggesting that there will be a WiFi version of this model shipping. The board has a single "Blazing" M.2 slot for a PCIe 5.0 SSD as well as what should be three PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots, of which two come with a shared heatsink and one has no heatsink at all. The final M.2 slot is limited to PCIe 3.0. As this is an X670E board, the PCIe x16 slot is of course PCIe 5.0.

Other features include Realtek's Dragon branded 2.5 Gbps Ethernet controller that has some gaming specific software. It appears that ASRock has trimmed the audio jacks to a bare minimum, with only a line out, a mic in and an optical S/PDIF being connected to the Realtek ALC897 audio codec. The board also has a single USB-C port around the back, although it's at least a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 port (20 Gbps). There are a total of five USB-A 3.2 ports, of which one is capable of 10 Gbps speeds, with the other delivering 5 Gbps. There are also four USB 2.0 ports, a DP and HDMI port, as well as a UEFI/BIOS update button around the back. Other expansion options include an internal USB-C header and two PCIe x1 slots of unknown type, as well as six SATA ports and two USB 3.x type headers. This should be one of the more affordable X670E motherboards when the AM5 platform launches later this year.

eazenA friend not long ago said that, 4K isn’t important to him, that he only ordered 4K service so that he gets HDR. See, HDR isn’t about resolution, it’s about quality. Same with IPS.
Once you get to sofa distance dinamic range is more noticeable than 4k or moar pixels.
ARFMegapixels aren't everything when you have to choose between 108-MP phone and a 50-MP phone, but there are no phones which have a 2-MP camera sensor.
You have 8-MP camera sensor everywhere which is exactly 3840x2160.
So what? That has been true for a very long time (like almost 10 years problably lol) because pictures benefit from the higher pixel count. Go check how many of those 8-mp phones are able to record 4k let alone 4k with any decent quality (right now it's probably not that few since even lower end soc's already have dedicated blocks for it but that's not the point - photography sensors resolution is very different to video recording and display).

ncrsThat's... a bit (heh) confusing.
Is it a budget model in terms of whole AM5 ecosystem or maybe a budget X670E, which is itself the premium chipset, model?
If "Pro" is budget, then what is the series for "professional" users?
The « Pro » series is design to get the best CPU and GPU support for the lowest price. So it’s make sense to get the top of the line chipset et lacking some extra feature. (Feature that pro consumer don’t need. Like a more recent ALC etc…)
