ASRock reveals its entire X870 lineup on its website just 2 weeks away from the expected release of the motherboards.

ASRock has revealed all and posted a page on its X870 motherboard lineup, while we only have a few of the specifications for each motherboard it’s certainly enough to be excited about. AMD’s X870 motherboard lineup is said to be launching on September 30th, that’s the latest predicted release date, anyway, and with that date already leaked and so much info being available already, manufacturers are sort of left to their own devices when revealing their boards properly.

This is why motherboards have been popping up left, right, and center over the last few days. While they mostly offer the same features in similar amounts, it’s nice to see the effort put into the designs of the upcoming X870 motherboards. And it’ll certainly be interesting to see if donning the 9000 series on an X870 over an X670 will offer any particular advantage.

There are no prices attached to these motherboards just yet, and when you click through to the individual motherboards, it returns a 404. I guess you can’t have everything just yet. ASRock’s motherboards are way more popular in the US (or at least what It seems like) as we hardly ever see the likes of the Tiachi in the UK.

None of these motherboards look particularly stripped and budget, maybe ASRock is going for more of a premium feel this time around. Usually, the more budget motherboards are very barebones, but none of these seem to appear that way. Maybe it’ll be left to the B80s and the A820s to play the budget picks this generation.
