AMD 800-Series AM5 Motherboards, Not 700-Series, To Launch Alongside Ryzen 9000 “Zen 5” Desktop CPUs
AMD is reportedly launching its next-generation AM5 motherboards for Ryzen 9000 “Zen 5” desktop processors under the 800 series branding.
AMD’s AM5 800-series motherboards will add more features to Ryzen PCs and debut alongside Ryzen 9000 “Zen 5” desktop processors
Reports of AMD’s upcoming processors have started to heat up as we’re only weeks away from Computex. However, Benchlife has confirmed that AMD’s new Ryzen 9000 series will debut with their respective “800” series motherboards, meaning the 8** naming convention will be followed and which the company has decided to remove the 700 series of the equation. Another interesting fact about this change is that AMD and Intel are now on par with their motherboard naming scheme.
Obviously, we can expect various motherboard manufacturers to showcase motherboards with AMD and Intel 800 series chips at Computex 2024; It has been confirmed that the chips used with AMD Ryzen 9000 will be called the 800 series, like Intel.
However, some motherboard manufacturers are still working hard on first generation AM5 pin motherboards, such as GIGABYTE’s upcoming B650E AORUS PRO X USB4.

Another interesting detail revealed by Benchlife is the description of Gigabyte’s B650E AORUS PRO X USB4 matches the expected model specifications. AMD 800 series motherboards. Apparently, “Granite Ridge” is ready.
We revealed a while ago that Gigabyte was planning to launch a USB4 motherboard on the AMD AM5 platform, and it looks like the standard has finally made its debut, coming at just the right time. As for the competition, it is also looking to add more features in the form of native Thunderbolt 4.0 support. Based on the naming convention of the 800 series, we can expect the following series of AM5 motherboards:
- X870(E) – Top of the line
- B850(E) – General public
- A820 – Entry level
Several new features in the B650E AORUS PRO X USB4 show us what AMD’s AM5 800 series motherboards will be capable of. The most notable features include more durable memory bodies, a dedicated sensor panel link for connecting external displays for monitoring, and a high-quality “PCIe EZ-Latch Plus” PCIe slot.
This is indeed a premium offering, and it looks like AMD’s upcoming motherboards will follow the same trend. They are expected to be revealed at Computex 2024 and, as always, we will be on hand to provide you with the details as soon as possible.
