I ignore their "reviews" of AMD products as they are clearly Intel biased.HUB's round up was a short feature set comparison table (ports, pice lanes etc) and then some VRM testing.
Within reason I feel like that covered it for me.

Not sure what video's you've been watching of theirs then.I ignore their "reviews" of AMD products as they are clearly Intel biased.
Does AM5 boards now stable? I read about the long boot times before, is there any other bugs regarding it?

I'm clearly Intel-boy but I respect AMD AM5 line up, as Intel's passion for "e-cores" is out of mind lolNot sure what video's you've been watching of theirs then.
Best gaming cpu right now (before the 9000 series reviews roll out) is 7800X3D
Steve's been slamming Intel about power consumption, lack of accurate power guidelines for motherboard manufacturers.
If anything, the Intel squad would be calling him and AMD shill.
I'm an AMD guy and I've watched little to nothing that resembles AMD bashing from their channel recently. Closest thing would be the rumour griping about lack of high end AMD vid cards to compete with Nvidia 5000 series.
I can only speak from experience with my board B650E Taichi lite - and it's boot times are good, don't have any stability issues. The long boot times are generally tied to an initial memory training boot up (with memory context restore enabled in bios)

Yeah I wanna say I 'get' e-core but then I am not sure I do, and I am starting to think maybe Intel might not either with the plan to remove hyper-threading on the p-core (that's my opinion nothing factual to support) but when e-cores get more powerful (iterations) they might create an interesting light wattage gamer cpu.I'm clearly Intel-boy but I respect AMD AM5 line up, as Intel's passion for "e-cores" is out of mind lol
but, I think AMD's "3D" stuff was and is a bit overpriced tho

I agree. While assuming often gets me into trouble, I think it safe to assume if something bad is not mentioned in the reporting section of a "thorough" review, then it must comply with industry standards and the manufacturers "published" specs.I rather someone tell me all the things wrong with a product than whats good about it. I already can figure that good stuff out for myself.

One thing that can be difficult to grapple with is UEFI updates. A board may start out fairly well but poor UEFI update can really sour a board especially if it doesn't have flashback. (or the reverse scenario, starts poor then later gets better) I really dislike the constant stream of UEFI updates in this new era of AMD. My B550 Phantom Gaming-ITX/ax started out great but somewhere along the line UEFI updates changed behaviors setting LLC and voltages and now can't set infinity fabric speed correctly to match RAM so I have to do manual overrides to fix all that.TPU will be getting a new reviewer here shortly.

absolutely. LMFAO, can say the fun fact about my H610 experience (surprise, it wasn't the cheapest ASRock HDV series; any ASRock HDV series were fkin bulletproof for me. Now, this was MSI H610M-E I think. Of course it's DDR4. I got 2x16 GB sticks which are in QVL. They said it should be one chips, then boom! (it's Kingston baby) RAM supplied with another chips and board didn't want to start at all LMFAO with i3-12100. Then, I've put the i5-12500 (which wasn't intended for this build of course lol) and it worked. Then some Hogwarts-Magic were applied and poor i3 started to work there too (of course i3 worked in another MB lol).Hopefully we get some good hands on testing. Lots of sites and YouTubers just turn it on and say it works. I haven't come across a motherboard without some quirks. Doesn't mean it is inherently a bad product, but the whole point of a review is to cover what the product can and cannot do.
I rather someone tell me all the things wrong with a product than whats good about it. I already can figure that good stuff out for myself.
For example if you take any AMD A620 motherboard and try to tell me it's flawless, we got a problem
