AMD is gearing up to launch its Ryzen 7000 series desktop processors and accompanying socket AM5 motherboards. The company will hold a public warm up event it\u2019s calling \u2018Meet the Experts<\/a>\u2019 (via Hardware Luxx<\/a>), which will showcase high end X670 and X670E motherboards from all of the major vendors.<\/p>\n

The online event will be held on Friday August 4 at 4PM GMT (12PM EDT, 9AM PDT, August 5 2AM AEST). It\u2019s set to run for an hour.<\/p>\n

The official topics include a discussion on AM5 ecosystem solutions, a showcase of flagship AM5 motherboards, and a general overview of the platform. AMD\u2019s choice to show off high end boards indicates this is an event aimed at enthusiasts. So, if you\u2019re thinking about upgrading to Zen 4 sooner rather than later, this will be an event well worth tuning in to.<\/p>\n

The presenters are made up of vendor representatives, and they will be eager to highlight the strengths of their boards to a large audience. Hopefully we\u2019ll get some good information, but we should expect only minor details\u2014if any\u2014on the CPUs themselves as AMD holds details back until the launch.<\/p>\n

As you can see from the image above, these are high end X670E motherboards. All but the Biostar board are E-ATX. It looks like several of them include M.2 slots adjacent to the memory slots. That’s a wise move for cooling reasons. They all look to have powerful VRM and cooling solutions.<\/p>\n

Another thing to note: look at the PCIe slot placement of the Asus and Gigabyte boards. I think it’s safe to say that quad slot GPU coolers are going to become more common in the future.<\/p>\n
