Computex: What the new X570 motherboards from Asus reveal about the performance of the Ryzen 3000
29.5.2019
When it comes to the performance of AMD's new Ryzen 3000 processors, we have to rely on the manufacturer's own specifications for the time being. However, the presentation of the new Asus motherboards reveals a lot about the performance.
Asus could form a football team with the line-up of the new X570 motherboards. The manufacturer has presented eleven models. Six of them in the Rog series alone. With the predecessor X470, there were just two models in this series. The manufacturer seems to have great confidence in the sales of the Ryzen 3000, especially in the gaming sector. We asked Andrew Wu from Asus about this.
Asus - one of the largest, if not the largest manufacturer of motherboards - has enormous confidence in the success of the new Ryzen processors. Otherwise they wouldn't be releasing a whole football team of models. What's more, AMD is the first to use PCIe 4.0. This speaks volumes for the performance of the processors: At the very least, the processors would have to come close to the specifications given by AMD.
In the run-up to the release of the new chipsets, there were rumours about heat development. The X570 chipsets are said to get very hot. These problems have now been confirmed by the motherboard models. This is what Andrew Wu says:
The chipsets do indeed run a little hot, hence the active cooling. All ATX mainboards from Asus come with two CPU power connections. This makes up to 650 watts possible. This power can also be used to power processors that are even more powerful than the Ryzen 3000 models presented. A Ryzen 3000 with 16 cores would therefore be possible.
We can expect a lot from the Ryzen 3000 processors and it is very likely that we have not yet seen the top model. The development of x86 CPUs is becoming increasingly exciting. As a customer, you can only benefit from this. Intel is now under pressure to act. The launch of the Core i9-9900KS - also at Computex - shows that Intel is nervous. This is a lukewarm rehash of the i9-9000K. The i9-9900KS clocks at 5 GHz on all cores. The i9-9900K only guarantees 5 GHz in the single core, in the multicore it is 4.7 GHz.
Andrew Wu introduced us to the six Rog models of the X570 series at the Rog stand at Computex. I don't want to withhold the uncut video from you.
