At the Computex in Taipei, all major AM4 socket motherboards based on AMD X570 chipsets were presented, models specifically designed to be combined with the 3000 family AMD Ryzen processors. These are the proposals based on Zen 2 architecture, built with a production technology of 7 nanometers and expected to debut on the market from July 7 next.
Models of motherboards with AMD X570 chipsets based on Mini-ITX form factor have been shown by various manufacturers, hence one of smaller sizes among those on the market. Despite the small size, the technological content is significant: despite its small size, the Gigabyte X570 Aorus Pro WiFi card, for instance, integrates 8-phase power supply circuit.
We find a similar construction for the ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming-ITX / TB3 card, also with a heat sink equipped with a fan mounted above the X570 chipset. This component integrates a dedicated PCI Express 4.0 controller, which particularly affects the platform's overall consumption, requiring a fan heat dissipation system to be used.
This type of motherboards allow you to assemble very small systems to ensure good overall expandability. The main limitations are the presence of a single PCI Express 16x slot for a video card and the possibility of up to two DDR4 memory modules being installed. However, the memory controller characteristics integrated in the Ryzen 3000 processors should allow memories with higher frequencies to be used in overclocking than those reached with Ryzen processors on the market up to now.
