AMD is preparing three new motherboards for its next generation processors based on the advanced AM4 socket, we are talking about the Bristol Ridge that has already been officially announced and the future Zen based AMD Summit Ridge that will arrive in early 2017. AMD is preparing the X370 high-end chipset for Summit Ridge

Features of AMD's new X370 chipset

The first chipsets announced by AMD were the A320 and B350, targeting the mainstream and premium sectors respectively. Now Sunnyvale's have announced their new X370 chipset that will debut in January 2017 at the CES 2017 special event alongside expected AMD Zen-based Summit Ridge processors.

We recommend reading our guide to the best processors on the market.

Both Summit Ridge and Bristol Ridge processors are based on a SoC design, so most of the logic has been moved along with the die of the processor itself. Despite this, AMD still maintains a chipset on the motherboard to add Sata ports, USB, and general-purpose PCI Express connectivity. The new X370 chipset should offer advanced USB 3.1 ports with 10Gb / s bandwidth, Sata 6Gb / s ports, M.2 and U.2 slots, and finally the aforementioned general-purpose PCI Express connectivity. This chipset is also expected to be ready to support multi-GPU configurations.
