Slight chipset info detailed, beyond the SKU names.

AMD Details AM4 Chipsets and Upcoming Motherboards

Looks like the IO feature combos will vary from different board vendors.
hmm what does x8 gen 3 mean?

only PCI 3.0 x8 will be available?

Hosei la. Even lowest end A320 chipset also have 1 USB 3.1 Gen2 out of box. And with overclocking support even on their B350 chipset, Intel can jiak sai for breakfast, lunch, dinner and supper with their 200 chipset series... :s22:

Anyway what 'thermal solution' are they referring to under fine print 3? TIM or HSF or TIM+HSF? :s11:

Very exciting; it looks like AMD is going big or bust this time with them aiming at the full spectrum of Kaby Lake CPUs instead of just the high end stuff.

Looks like holding off any non-essential computer builds until Ryzen is released is the smartest move at this point of time.

Not because Intel will lower prices (we all know too well they won't), but more of being able to pick the better choices out there!

Good spot, dunno mens! Probably referring to HSF.

Based on the image shown, does it mean the Ryzen CPU supports only single x16 Gen3 PCIe and single x4 NVMe at the same time?

Which means I cannot do Crossfire or SLI x16 x16 with another x4 NVMe?

I think the way to see it is they allow x16 in single gpu config, and a total of 1 m.2. Total 20 lanes.

If you want to SLI or xfire. It will still go into x8x8 and still allow you to do 1 m.2.

I see, thanks for the info. It does make sense since Gen 3 x8 x8 is sufficient for GPU and doesn't bottleneck.

But I am sure people will start comparing the Ryzen 8c16t (20 lanes) to 6900k 8c16t (40 lanes). Hope Ryzen will be more pocket friendly.

Come on AMD, give me a killer priced Ryzen + A320 ITX and I'd be happy.

As long as it won't sound like an actual A320 can liao

If a CCX contains 4 cores, will the 6C12T be a 8C16T with 2 cores locked?
Would be very satki if a 6 core goes between 4C i5 and i7 non k pricing if it is BIOS unlockable like some previous K10s...

Ryzen definitely won't be a 40 lane CPU.
Looking at the back of the msi x370 board you can see the way it is hardwired(pic below) 16x on frist slot, 8x on the other 2 slot so most likely it will be 24 lane cpu.

Most likely config for the x370 board(enthusiast).
24 PCIe Gen 3 lanes (from the CPU).
16 PCIe Gen 3 lanes dedicated for graphics with support for up to 3-way CrossFireX(not sure) & 2-way SLI(x8/x8).
4 PCIe Gen 3 lanes dedicated for storage (NVMe, SATA & PCIe storage)
4 PCIe Gen 3 dedicated for LAN & USB3.1 Gen 2 ports.
8 PCIe Gen 2 lanes (from the chipset)
10 USB 3.1 Gen 1 ports (4 from the CPU and 6 from the chipset)
2 USB 3.1 Gen 2 ports
6 USB 2 ports.
6 SATA3 6Gb/s ports (2 from the CPU and 4 from the chipset)

But AMD has mentioned two full x16 (Gen3) lanes for GPUs. Board makers can add additional lanes through a PLX chip so we might see more features on later boards also we have not seen boards from asus yet.
