Asus just unveiled its latest lineup of motherboards sporting the 800-series chipset for AMD’s Ryzen 9000 CPUs at Gamescom 2024. The company is offering these new motherboards across its entire motherboard lineup, covering the needs of everyone from the everyday user to the most extreme overclockers who want to get the most out of their AMD processors.

Aside from its compatibility with AM5 chips, Asus is also touting several AI features, including AI Overclocking, AI Cooling II, and AI Networking II. These AI technologies will supposedly offer one-click optimizations, so users no longer must do trial-and-error testing to create manual profiles to get the most out of the PC builds.

While the AMD Ryzen 9000 chips are compatible with current X670E motherboards and will allow users to upgrade to the new processors with just a BIOS upgrade, the X870 and X870E mobos deliver more features that will let you get the most out of your new chips. These include PCIe 5.0 for both GPU and SSD slots, two USB4 ports, and more. X870E-equipped Asus motherboards boast two chipsets, so you can take advantage of the extra PCIe lanes on these models. All WiFi-equipped Asus X870E / X870 motherboards also now feature the new WiFi 7 standard, which means faster wireless internet for its users.

Aside from the AI features, the new Asus motherboards also offer advanced capabilities that let you tweak your CPU’s performance on the fly. This includes the Dynamic OC Switchers, which automatically jump between AMD’s Precision Boost Overdrive and manual overclock settings, depending on the required performance. It also has Core Flex, which lets the users adjust core frequencies depending on the CPU’s temperature and voltage.

Did I miss the party about at least a roadmap for support for USB 4 V2? That's a pretty disappointing omission for a brand new high end range of chips and motherboards imho... hoping that I missed it.
