Factory Drawing of ASUS X670 Prime-P WiFi Appears Online

Notebookcheck has some extra info on the block diagram and unless I'm missing something I don't see the point of the dual chipset.

There's still people on x570 having USB dropout issues, I can only imagine the mess 2 separate chipsets could be. Also sharing those 4x lanes for all those USB and other peripherals between the 2 chipsets ooff I don't think that's such a great plan.

On the upside those extra x4 lanes for a USB 4.0 controller look really nice, maybe will see some boards with 2 m.2's connected to the cpu. Let's see what board manufacturers can come up with

So, X670/E has

• 1 more M.2 2>3,
• 2 more SATA 4>6,
• double up all kind of USB ports in part of Chipset,
• Chipset requires more TDP 7>14watts compare to B650

X670E has requirement to support PCI-Express version 5 on both PCIE #1 and NVME #1. But X670 might not?

That was my understanding, X670 can still have PCIe 5.0 on both gpu and nvme (nvme is required on both). I was under the impression X670 would only use 1 chipset contrary to the E but realised through a different thread that's not the case so both X670 and X670 will use 14w, I don't know what the differences will be then other than the requirement for gen5 pcie on the graphics card slot (maybe gen5.0 link to the chipset? the information is very unclear at the moment)
