These new chipsets feature USB4 as a standard feature and are also designed to support even faster DDR5 memory overclocking with AMD EXPO Technology13. Both the X870 and X870E feature 44 total PCIe lanes and direct-to-processor PCIe 5.0 NVMe connectivity for the ultimate transfer speeds. The X870E is differentiated with 24 PCIe 5.0 lanes, with 16 lanes dedicated to graphics. When PCe 5.0 direct-to-processor storage and graphics care are enabled at the same time, the X870E offers twice the bandwidth of competing platforms.

and AMD ROCm 6.1 for Radeon GPUs Making AI Development More Accessible
AMD also announced the AMD Radeon PRO W7900 Dual Slot workstation graphics card. It is optimized for high-performance platforms supporting multiple GPUs, delivering up to 38% better performance-per-dollar in Llama 3 70B Q4 than the competitive offering15 with the ability to fit the 70B parameter model on a single GPU framebuffer. Empowering developers to conduct AI development locally, it is ideal for ultra-high-performance AI workstations while keeping sensitive data in-house. AMD also announced AMD ROCm 6.1 for AMD Radeon GPUs to make AI development and deployment with AMD Radeon desktop GPUs more compatible, accessible, and scalable. It supports up to four qualified AMD Radeon RX or Radeon PRO GPUs, offers beta support for Windows® Subsystem for Linux® (WSL 2), allowing users to run Linux-based AI tools on a Windows® system, and more. AMD Radeon PRO W7900 Dual Slot graphics cards and AMD ROCm 6.1 are expected to be available beginning June 19, 2024.
