The biggest advance over the new 400 chipset is the native support for PCIe 3.0 lanes. In the 300 Series chipset, the M.2 (32Gb / s) interface is provided directly by AMD Raritan processors, Non-300 series chipsets are provided.
Since the 400 Series chipset natively supports PCIe 3.0 lanes, it is fairly easy to anticipate having two M.2 (32Gb / s) interfaces on future 400 Series motherboards (one M.2 provided by the processor, A M.2 provided by the 400 series chipset).
The Aorus X470 Gaming 7 has a 12-phase power supply design with a higher current rating than the 300 series motherboard and more aluminum heatsink over the MOS tubes indicating that the highest TDP of Ryzen Generation 2 processors may Will exceed 95W.
The new motherboard comes with three PCI-E 3.0 x16 slots (the bottom two are PCI-E 3.0 x8), two PCI-E 3.0 x1 slots and two M.2 (32Gb / s) slots (one M.2 -22110, the other is M.2-2280), six SATA 6 Gb / s ports, and two front chassis USB 3.0 ports.
Two USB3.1 Gen2 interfaces (including one USB-C interface) and six USB3.0 interfaces are provided on the back of the motherboard. Two USB3.0 interfaces (yellow) are specially optimized to reduce the interference of devices such as USB earphones And delay issues.In addition, the motherboard also supports 802.11ac, Bluetooth 4.1.
It is noteworthy that this motherboard does not provide display output interface, but does not mean that users can not use APU with core graphics, after all, the motherboard with a USB-C interface at the rear, the user should be able to use the USB-C docking station Achieve nuclear display output.
