Night Hunter Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 AMD's third-generation Ryzen processors aren't even available to purchase yet (they will be in July), and already one of the features that is inherent to the accompanying X570 chipset is now a previous-generation technology. That's because PCI-SIG just ratified PCI Express 5.0. There's quite a bit to decode there, particularly if you're in the market for the best AMD motherboard, so let's get started. PCI-SIG, or Peripheral Component Interconnect Special Interest Group (rolls right off the tongue, doesn't it?), is an industry consortium that oversees the development of the PCI Express (PCIe) bus, with official standards that chip makers, motherboard makers, and other hardware outfits adhere to. AMD earlier this week unveiled its first Ryzen 3000 series processors based on its Zen 2 CPU architecture. Combined with a motherboard built around the also-new X570 chipset, it is the first consumer platform to support PCIe 4.0, which effectively doubles the bandwidth of PCIe 3.0 between the CPU and chipset, as well as the CPU and peripherals like graphics cards and NVMe solid state drives.
