In August this year, AMD released its next generation of desktop processors, the Ryzen 9000 series. However, the AM5 X870E and X870 motherboards are yet to be launched. However, to add to current speculation, the latest report from IT Home claims that the new gen motherboards will be rolled out later this month on September 30th.
We have seen glimpses of them here and there – in fact, X870E and X870 motherboards have been filed by manufacturers like MSI and Gigabyte earlier this month. While these might be strong indicators that the motherboards are in the works, there has been no official date for launch from AMD yet.
