ASUS reveals new motherboards at Gamescom 2024

ASUS launches its X870E and X870 motherboards at Gamescom 2024, ready for AMD Ryzen 9000 CPUs with innovative AI features and next-gen connectivity options.

At this year’s Gamescom, ASUS unveiled its latest motherboard array, the X870E and X870 series. These new offerings are compatible with AMD’s Ryzen 9000 Series processors, which hail from the Zen 5 architecture. The range includes models from the ROG, ROG Strix, TUF Gaming, Prime, and ProArt families, each equipped with state-of-the-art AI optimisation tools, DDR5 memory support, and cutting-edge connectivity options like WiFi 7 and PCIe 5.0.

Engineered for the future

The motherboards have been engineered to complement AMD’s Ryzen 9000 Series CPUs, known for their 16% improvement in instructions-per-cycle (IPC) over previous models. These processors are adept at managing various demanding tasks, making them suitable for gaming enthusiasts and creative professionals.

Embedded within these motherboards are numerous AI-driven features, such as AI Overclocking, AI Cooling II, AI Networking II, Dynamic OC Switcher, and Core Flex. These tools simplify system enhancement, allowing for easy performance optimisation and network stability optimisation, alongside efficient cooling system management.

Innovations in motherboard technology

A notable innovation in the X870E series is the introduction of NitroPath DRAM technology, which boosts the performance and durability of DDR5 memory. This feature is particularly prominent in models like the ROG Crosshair X870E Hero and the ROG Strix X870E-E Gaming WiFi, facilitating faster and more efficient data transfers.

These motherboards also improve cooling and installation. Features such as the new M.2 Q-Latch and M.2 Q-Release simplify assembling a PC, while the PCIe Slot Q-Release Slim and ASUS’s comprehensive Q-Design aid in the easy installation and upgrading of components.

Advanced connectivity and smart enhancements

Each model in the X870E and X870 series is equipped with two onboard USB4 ports, which support up to 40 Gbps of bidirectional bandwidth. This enables rapid connections to external storage devices and high-resolution displays. Additionally, the series enhances wireless connectivity with WiFi 7, which is significantly faster than the preceding WiFi 6.

The motherboards also incorporate AI technologies like AI Cooling II and AI Networking II, which autonomously adjust settings to optimise performance and connectivity. These intelligent features ensure that ASUS motherboards remain a top choice for anyone looking to build a powerful, future-proof PC.

The Prime X870-P WiFi and Prime X870-P highlight the series’ commitment to reliable performance, incorporating all essential features that gamers and professional users need.
