Is it worth to wait for X870E?

SIGSEGV · 2024-09-03T06:41:57+0100

Honestly, I eagerly wait for X870E motherboards, but after reading many comments about X870E vs X670E, I am just thinking of getting X670E instead.
The biggest considerations are the second-hand (like new) high-end X670E is now more affordable (for instance, Asus C Extreme X670E, like new, selling for EUR 450), and I need many SSD storages to store the large datasets locally.
Do you have any better suggestions?

What is your target? If its just a lot of SSD slots, just get a pcie adapter with a X670E board.

Do you need USB4? That would eat PCIe lanes that could otherwise have been an extra SSD slot.

Only if there is camm2.

Do you desperately need USB 4? If you do, then yes. Otherwise, no.

Does X870E have more chipset lanes?

AMD X870E vs X870 vs X670E vs X670 vs B650E vs B650

AMD has announced their latest generation of motherboard chipsets. How do the X870 and X870E compare to the X670 and B650 chipsets?

Here's a pretty good comparison.

Do you need usb 4? Yes wait, No don't wait.

Unless you are also waiting for 9000X3D coming out next year apparently.

Thanks for all the feedback.
However, most high-end tiers of X670E lineups have USB4; for instance, ASUS Crosshair Extreme/Taichi/Carbon/Ace already has USB4, but I don't know if it eats one of the PCI lanes.
