MSI Prepares X870E "GODLIKE" Flagship Motherboard for AM5 Platform Processors

MSI is set to launch its most advanced AM5 motherboard to date: the MEG X870E GODLIKE. This flagship model is designed to support AMD's Ryzen 9000 series processors and beyond. The MEG X870E GODLIKE boasts an impressive 28-phase power delivery system with 110 A power stages, surpassing its predecessor's capabilities. This robust VRM design ensures a stable power supply even for the most demanding scenarios of next-generation CPUs. The motherboard's E-ATX form factor provides ample space for its array of features, including support for DDR5 memory speeds exceeding 8000 MT/s and a capacity of up to 256 GB. Connectivity is a strong suit for this motherboard, featuring eight USB Type-C ports with varying speeds of up to 40 Gbps. Storage options include five M.2 slots (two PCIe Gen 5 and three Gen 4) and four SATA III ports.

For graphics, the board offers two PCIe Gen 5.0 slots. MSI has also included several user-friendly features, such as EZ M.2 and PCIe release mechanisms, making component installation and removal a breeze. The M.2 slots are equipped with MSI's Shield Frozr heatsinks, ensuring optimal thermal performance for NVMe SSDs. Perhaps most intriguing is the inclusion of an additional 8-pin power connector, specifically designed to support future multi-GPU setups like NVIDIA's anticipated RTX 50 "Blackwell" series. While pricing details are yet to be announced, the MEG X870E GODLIKE is expected to carry a premium price tag, reflecting its top-tier status in MSI's lineup. With the high-end power delivery setup, overclockers will find this motherboard interesting, and users are planning to upgrade to next-generation RTX 50 series GPUs. Availability is also unknown as of time of writing.

Meh

Show me 1DPC boards. Where are you Tachyon?

TigerfoxWell, someone didn't read the previous info all too well.

X870 confusingly ist not like X670E or X670, but is B650E with forced USB4
X870E = X670E+USB4, X870 = B650E+USB4, B850 = B650 and B840 = A620. There is nothing like X670 without PCIe5.0 or USB4 anymore.

In what way, then, is X870E far superior? It's just the same old chipset with forced USB4 via AMS4242 onboard. Most boards now offer WiFi7 instead of WiFi6(E), but very few offer Realtek 5GbE instead of 2.5GbE.

ASM4242 is always connected to Gen4x4 from the CPU, which previously have been used for a M.2 slot, often Gen4x4, but sometimes Gen5x4 like the first one. So you lose 4 lanes Gen5 for something that doesn't neer them.

The boards that have been shown have mostly been X870, so only one chip, and fewer X870E with two chips than X670(E). Lane sharing is even more extreme now an there rarely are more than two PCIe-Slots or more than two independent M.2,
In my book B650E is superior to X670 anyway, so thats fine for me. I'll take PCIe 5.0 x16 for the GPU over "more lanes" any day of the week.

X870E and X870 boards will be improved in many areas compared to 600 series, you will see on Sep 30. There will be 10GbE boards as well.
TheDeeGeeWhat's the point, these days you can get max 200 MHz more.
Depends on CPU. I don't expect you to understand. You are not a poweruser. Boards like this, are not aimed at you.

What for, exactly? There still isn't any PCIe5.0-GPU and even when there'll be, you will only notice the difference when we're on AM6.

I don't need to see on Sep 30, I already saw. It's quite impossible for them to be much improved since it's literally the same just with USB. What I saw from Gigabyte and Asus I consider even worse in most cases, since most board have even less PCIe, M.2 and SATA and more lane sharing, but very few offer 5GbE. 10GbE is reserved for the same boards that had it as X670E

What an arrogant comment.
