A possible PCB layout diagram of the ASUS ROG Crosshair X670E APEX motherboard was leaked to the web. We could tell it's the APEX, looking at its 1DPC (one DIMM per channel) memory layout. The ROG APEX line of motherboards are geared toward extreme overclocking, with 1DPC being the best possible memory topology. We could make out several features from this diagram. The board draws power from a combination of 24-pin ATX, two 8-pin EPS, and a 6-pin PCIe. A mammoth 26-phase VRM powers the CPU. The board appears to have its power connectors and onboard buttons angled sideways, making it most suitable for bench rigs.

The AMD Socket AM5 is wired to two DDR5 DIMM slots (one DIMM per channel, with two sub-channels, each); and a PCI-Express 5.0 x16 slot. This splits to a second slot in x8 mode. The third slot is electrical x8, and wired to the X670E chipset. While there are three M.2 slots onboard, this is likely Gen 4 x4. The board's main Gen 5 M.2 slots are located on an included DIMM.2 daughterboard that inserts into a proprietary slot next to the DIMM slots. It's likely that the board offers USB4 connectivity, besides SupremeFX HD audio, Wi-Fi 6E, 2.5 GbE, and an abundance of USB 3.x connectivity in various forms.

Actually with DDR5 1DPC is not longer a handicap like it used to be.
Most DDR5 DIMM's are 16GB. Meaning that with two sticks you can get 32GB with higher clocking benefit of 1DPC system while not sacrificing on capacity like it was with DDR4 where the best kits were limited to 8GB and thus if you wanted max speed you had only 16GB total.

That is with 32GB being enough for most people. Tho im pretty sure with 16GB sticks being the baseline we could easily see 32GB sticks in the future that also run high frequencies.
Looking at Geizhals.de is can see that there are total of 325 DDR5 kits available.
Out of these with 2 stick kits are 218 and out of those most are 2x16GB (162). 2x32GB stand at 38 and 2x8GB are only 18.

2x8 maxes out at 6000 CL40
2x16 maxes out at 6600 CL34
2x32 maxes out at 6000 CL30
