MSI Unveils Support for AMD Ryzen 9000 Series Processors

MSI is thrilled to announce the launch of the latest AMD Ryzen 9000 Series processors, set to debut on the new X870 chipsets. Powered by cutting-edge 4 nm CPU process technology, the Ryzen 9000 Series promises to revolutionize the computing landscape with unparalleled performance, efficiency, and versatility for gamers and content creators. At launch, there will be four new AMD Ryzen 9000 Series CPUs available: the Ryzen 9 9950X, 9900X, Ryzen 7 9700X, and Ryzen 5 9600X. They are compatible with the AM5 socket, existing AMD 600 Series motherboards and Ryzen 9000 Series processors can seamlessly integrate with each other by updating to the latest BIOS, readily available on MSI's product support page.

At this year's Computex 2024, visitors to the MSI booth will have the opportunity to witness two models firsthand, the MAG X870 TOMAHAWK WIFI and PRO X870-P WIFI. Additionally, a comprehensive lineup of features awaits users across the MPG and MEG series, ensuring a diverse range of options to suit every need. Here is a sneak-peak of features that you can expect to see on the upcoming MSI's X870 motherboards.
MSI X870 Motherboards Product Features
In this latest generation of motherboards, we've unveiled several highly anticipated features, including the all-new "EZ PCIe Release" and "EZ PCIe Clip II." The EZ PCIe Release enables users to effortlessly remove graphics cards installed in the primary PCIe Gen 5.0 Slot on X870-based motherboards. Meanwhile, the updated EZ PCIe Clip II boasts an improved hooking mechanism, enhancing both removal and installation ease.

When it comes to graphics cards, their increasing size and weight can strain the motherboard. To address this, MSI has enhanced all its motherboards with three additional anchor points and thicker material used for the slots. This modification enables the PCIe slot to be 121% stronger compare to previous generation PCIe Steel Armor slot. Able to withstand twice the weight of the graphics card, ensuring stability and reliability without any concerns.

Introducing our second generation of EZ M.2 Clip II, making installation and removal of M.2 SSD storage easier than ever. Featuring a new Screwless design, removal is effortless with a simple squeeze of the side latch to open the Screwless M.2 Frozr entirely. Installing is just as straightforward - a simple push locks the M.2 SSD in place, while removal requires only a slight pull to the left.

As newer devices continue to advance in speed, MSI's motherboards are also receiving an upgrade. All X870 motherboards are equipped with Lightning PCIe Gen 5.0 and M.2 slots, maximizing the bandwidth potential of modern devices. Additionally, a USB 4 connector is now standard on all MSI X870 motherboards, supporting speeds of up to 40 GB/s.

Besides lightning-fast storage, uninterrupted connectivity is crucial for swift data transfer and seamless networking experiences. MSI has also upgraded the Wi-Fi antenna module with a quick-release mechanism, simplifying installation on any PC build. The MAG X870 TOMAHAWK WIFI and PRO X870-P WIFI are both outfitted with cutting-edge 5G LAN, Wi-Fi 7, and Bluetooth 5.4 technologies. Whether you're gaming or multitasking, you can trust that they'll effortlessly manage any tasks or applications, ensuring a smooth and uninterrupted user experience.

Auxilary power, most likely for all the M.2 drives.

More likely USB4. Those boards have less M2 slots than some X670E.

Doesn't look particularly close to anything demanding much power. The USB4 ports are up there with the I/O panel. Might be anything, or even additional electrical ground for next-gen video cards to drain into.

EDIT: Seems like it's actually quite a lot of potential wattage on the bottom half of the board. PEG and other PCIe slots, fans and (A)RGB headers, front panel USB connectors that add up, and the two-chip chipset. It makes sense now.

The black and gold styling reminds me of the old M-Power days! I like the look of the pro series a lot, very sleek.

So for USB-PD support for 100W or 65W , not sure who will use that feature.
