This week we learned, through leaks, of the existence of a curious Gigabyte motherboard that had a reinforcement system in the main PCI Express 5.0 X16 port with which up to 58 KG of weight could be supported on a hypothetical large graphics card .
It didn’t take long for it to become official, and now Gigabyte has announced definitely your plate B650E AORUS PRO with 40 Gbps USB4 connectivity and that striking reinforcement in the PCIe 5.0 X16.
The use of the mid-range B650E chipset for AMD CPUs on a board with this feature intended for large graphics cards and, therefore, where high performance is expected, is striking. As we already said at the time, this board may possibly serve as an introduction to this type of ports for a broader launch on more modern boards.
In any case, the Gigabyte B650E AORUS PRO X USB4 It is a board equipped with a multitude of connectivity ports, such as its 10 USB-A ports (4 x USB 2.0, 4 x USB 3.0 and 2x USB 3.1), in addition to the two USB-C with USB4 and Displayport placed on the back. .
These USB4s offer 40 Gbps each for data, and it is not shared with the video connectivity, so we have all the bandwidth available for data transfers to external devices unlike what happens with Thunderbolt 4.
It does not lack 2.5 Gbps Ethernet connectivity or new generation WiFi 7, as well as minijack audio input and output and an SPDIF optical output.
The Gigabyte B650E AORUS PRO X USB4 will hit the market in early June.
