AMD has already confirmed that its new Zen 5 CPUs will be released in July 2024, but it looks as though it’s planning to launch its supporting new motherboards later in the year. According to the latest leak, the AMD X870 motherboard release date is expected to come a couple of months after its first new Ryzen 9000 CPUs come out.
With AMD going big on the latest PCIe 5.0 and USB 4 standards in its new X870 and X870E chipsets, it’s likely these new chipsets will power several of the best gaming motherboards you can buy when they come out. You won’t need one of these new motherboards to run a Ryzen 9000-series Zen 5 CPU, though, as they’ll also happily slot into any existing Socket AM5 motherboard, as long as you flash the BIOS first.
