At Computex Taipei, ASUS, ASRock, and MSI have all demonstrated the new AMD B450 motherboard, which will be used in conjunction with the upcoming 2nd generation Ruilong 5/3 series mainstream models, and of course also compatible with the generation of Ruilong.
In fact, Gigabyte has one, and it's very high-end. Its model is 'B450 Aorus Pro Wi-Fi ' , Incorporates many advanced features, but still maintain a high price/performance ratio Of course, the specific price has not been announced yet.
It uses The 10+1-phase power supply, PowerIRStage DrMOS chip, power supply area, chipset and two M.2 slots all cover a complete heatsink and comes with a back IO shield.
Although four DDR4 memory slots are not hardened, First PCI-E x16 complete with full metal protection The other two are partially protected.
SATA 6Gbps interface six, but it is strange that two of them are placed vertically next to the memory slot, next to the 24-pin ATX main power supply interface, rarely seen.
The audio sound card part is also complete. EMI electromagnetic protection, PCB splitting, filter capacitors, etc.
Comes with Wi-Fi wireless network card, support 2T2R 802.11ac , It may be Intel AC-8265 or AC-9265.
However, the most notable part of this board is processor support. Compatible with Ruilong generation, 2nd generation and Ruilong APU, it no longer supports 7th generation APU Bristol Ridge.
Although the seven-generation APU is also the AM4 package interface (actually the first batch), but it is using the old 28nm process, excavator excavator CPU + GCN GPU old architecture, and Ruilong does not touch, and now the 300, 400 series motherboard in order To support it, all have to be designed and considered individually. After all, the platform specifications are different.
Since the BIOS chip has a volume limit of 128 Mb and supports multiple sets of different platforms to occupy too much space, Gigabyte has removed this B450 motherboard's support for the seven-generation APU. After all, few people will use such a new high-end motherboard. Go with the ancient low-end APU.
In fact, many motherboard manufacturers are already preparing to do so, so we must pay attention to the use of seven-generation APU.
