ASRock Formally Launches its AMD X870E and X870 Chipset Motherboards
ASRock, the global leading manufacturer of motherboards, graphics cards, mini PCs, and gaming monitors, today announced a full line-up of flagship to mainstream motherboards using the AMD X870E/X870 series chipset, which is designed expressly for the latest AMD Ryzen 9000 series processors using AM5 socket. New motherboards include the flagship series X870E Taichi and Taichi Lite, newly introduced flagship Phantom Gaming X870E Nova WiFi, mainstream gaming X870 Riptide WiFi, plus the always popular X870 Steel Legend WiFi, X870 Pro RS and Pro RS WiFi, which are both now available in a white design.
All the new ASRock X870E/X870 motherboards, from the flagship Taichi series to the mainstream Steel Legend and Pro RS WiFi, feature a highly robust design for extreme performance. The Taichi series combines SPS Dr.MOS power delivery of up to 24+2+1 phases, server-grade 8-layer PCBs enabling excellent memory overclocking up to DDR5-8200, and exclusive low-ripple 1000μf 20K black capacitors that guarantee stable and superior performance for the CPU.Blazing Speed IO with DIY-friendly Designs
All boards include both PCI-Express Gen-5 GPU and Blazing M.2 (Gen5x4) SSD ports, along with two USB4 Type-C ports on the rear I/O for external peripherals requiring extreme speeds. Their DIY-friendly design includes an EZ release graphics card slot and toolless M.2 heatsink installation, simplifying system setup. ASRock even provides an additional heatsink pre-installed under the M.2 SSD, which can significantly reduce PCI-Express Gen-5 SSD temperatures to help prevent thermal throttling. All motherboards include the BIOS Flashback function, accessible via the rear I/O, allowing for effortless BIOS updates even without the CPU and memory installed.
ASRock Patented Connectivity Innovation
Networking includes the latest and fastest WiFi 7 (802.11be) 2x2, offering next-generation multi-gigabit speeds and low-latency throughput that's ideal for gaming and wireless VR headsets. ASRock's optimized 5 Gbps LAN on X870E series motherboards boasts a patented design for superior EMI resistance, ensuring high-speed and stable performance.

who knows with marketing companies these days. I love my asrock b650 steel legend, I have no need for anything else really
Edit: Now that you mentioned Laptops. The Asmedia USB4 controller on my Legion Go also supports 20G network.
My friend found out when he curiously plugged his Legion Go into mine. Could be quite niffty for file transfers.
Well nice advertisement hoax ASROCK.
Mainboard X870E Nova WiFi, 16 Lanes PCIE 3.0 Adverised, www.asrock.com/microsite/AMDX800/
Detail Page claims only 2 electrical lanes for the PCIE 3.0 - 16 lanes slot, pg.asrock.com/mb/AMD/X870E Nova WiFi/index.asp#Specification
Same for this board - 16 Lanes advertised, www.asrock.com/microsite/AMDX800/
Detail Page claims only 4 electrical lanes for the PCIE 4.0 - 16 lanes slot, www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/X870 Steel Legend WiFi/index.asp#Specification
When I read PCIE 3.0 16 Lanes slot I think I see a mainboard from 5 or 10 years ago. It's technically outdated.
When I see PCIE 3.0 or PCIE 4.0 with 16 lanes - I expect to get a board with fully 16 lanes electrically wired, as advertised on the mainpage.

"Exclusive 20K CAP with 1000uF Capacitance" ... increase from 560uF
What nonsense. No temperature rating or Voltage rating given for those capacitors. It's just another size for a capacitor. It's not really a big capacitor in the first place. A big capacitor is for example a 1F one.
Microsoft does have documentation on it, so I assume it should just work as part of the spec.

The guys over at epgu.io forums have also done plently of testing that USB4 could get higher throughput in pcie mode than TB with a proper USB4 client.
I am pretty sure they are tesing the same chip in the ADT-UT3G as well.
Do I just use an USB4/TB3/4 cable between two USB4 devices and see if they engage USB4NET?
In Microsoft's doc, it acts basically like any ethernet.
The device I ran ping from is this:
LOL we're a bit off topic
However, it can do 40 Gbps on one port and 20 Gbps on the other.
Or if you want to be picky, about 38.79 and 19.39 Gbps.
The reason Thunderbolt 3/4 claims 40 Gbps, is because it can do 32 Gbps of data plus 8 Gbps DisplayPort at the same time, since DP is not tunneled in Thunderbolt 3/4. Looks like 10 Gbps.
Can you try with -w 4M or -P 4 or maybe 8 ?
It forces larger data chunks or parallel transmits.
