The official premiere of AMD Ryzen 7000 processors is scheduled for September 27 this year, but ASUS has proven to us that the motherboards for these units are already ready. We just had the chance to learn about the upcoming X670E platforms. In total, the manufacturer offered us eight models designed for the most demanding enthusiasts. It’s time to take a look at them.
We already know almost everything about ASUS motherboards with the X670E chipset. Only the prices remain a mystery. We will have to wait until September 27 for a proper announcement of this matter.
AMD Ryzen 9 7950X, Ryzen 9 7900X, Ryzen 7 7700X, Ryzen 5 7600X – Official specifications and pricing for Zen 4 processors
Of all the motherboards on display, ROG CROSSHAIR X670E EXTREME, ROG CROSSHAIR X670E HERO and ROG CROSSHAIR X670E GENE made the biggest impression on us. These are definitely the best models that are distinguished not only by their effective appearance and great build quality, but also by rich specifications and an extensive power supply section. These platforms support, among others, the USB 4 or WiFi 6E standards. Below are their pictures and specifications.

AMD Ryzen 9 7950X tested in CPU-Z. 16 cores can significantly outperform its predecessor in Multi-Core
An alternative to ROG CROSSHAIR main units is no less attractive: ROG STRIX X670E-E-GAMING and ROG STRIX X670E-I-GAMING as well as ProArt X670E Creator WiFi, TUF Gaming X670E-Plus WiFi and Prime X670E-Pro WiFi . In general, they only have slightly weaker specifications, which may still be enough for very demanding users. Not only did we not know the prices of the motherboards described – we will have to wait for the appropriate announcement of this until the official launch of the platforms i.e. until September 27.
