At the CES 2017 show today, AMD is lifting the lid on some of the upcoming AM4 motherboard designs coming to end users for Ryzen/Summit Ridge and Bristol Ridge.

Following the reveal of new technology and performance details of upcoming AMD Ryzen high-performance desktop processors, AMD announced 16 AM4 motherboards from five manufacturers. In addition, AMD exhibited Ryzen processor-based "extreme performance" PC designs from 17 top system integrators across the globe as well as third-party CPU cooler designs.

AMD and its motherboard partners today debuted a wide array of new motherboards from ASRock, Asus, Biostar, Gigabyte, and MSI, all built upon two upcoming desktop chipsets for AMD Ryzen processors: the X370 and X300. X370 chipset-based motherboards support overclocking, and dual graphics. For users looking for performance in a more compact size, the X300 chipset also features an AMD Ryzen-ready AM4 socket while utilizing the mini-ITX size ideal for small form factor PCs.

Motherboards for the 300-series chipsets will feature technologies including dual channel DD4, support for NVMe drives via M.2/U.2 or PCIe, native support for USB 3.1 10 Gbps connectivity and PCIe 3.0 from the processor for external graphics or other PCIe co-processors.

AM4 chipsets provide dedicated PCIe lanes for USB, graphics, data and other I/O. Motherboards on display at CES 2017 include:

• ASRock X370 Taichi, ASRock X370 Gaming K4, ASRock AB350 Gaming K4 & ASRock A320M Pro4
• Asus B350M-C
• Biostar X370GT7, Biostar X350GT5 & Biostar X350GT3
• Gigabyte GA-AX370-Gaming K5, Gigabyte GA-AX370-Gaming 5, Gigabyte AB350-Gaming 3 & Gigabyte A320M-HD3
• MSI A320M Pro-VD, MSI X370 Xpower Gaming Titanium, MSI B350 Tomahawk & MSI B350M Mortar

AMD and custom-PC builders such as Cyberpower, Maingear and Origin, amongst others, presented an array of PC' based on high-performance AMD Ryzen processors.

For enthusiasts and PC builders focused on a quiet and effective cooling solution or wishing to overclock, AMD is working with 15 cooler manufacturers and vendors to create an array of aftermarket CPU coolers for AM4 processors. For ultra-quiet air cooling, Noctua will offer both its NH-D15 and its slimmer counterpart the NH-U12S. In, addition, EKWB will offer AM4 support for its custom water cooling solutions.

AMD Ryzen processor-based PCs, AM4 motherboards, and compatible cooling solutions are expected to be available in Q1 2017.
