MSI MEG X570 Creation Motherboard Spotted Running A Ryzen 3000, Zen 2 Quad Core ES CPU With Up To 3.8 GHz Clock Speeds

MSI seems to be working on a new high-end motherboard based around the X570 chipset which would support the AMD Ryzen 3000 series processors. We have earlier reported that a few board manufacturers have already received early samples of these processors and it looks like that one of the samples being internally tested sneaked its way into SiSoftware database (via momomo_us).

AMD Ryzen 3000, Zen 2 Based Quad-Core Processor Spotted Running on The MSI MEG X570 Creation Motherboard

The AMD Ryzen 3000 series sample that was being tested in an early engineering sample. It goes by the “2DS104BBM4GH2_38/34_N” codename which shows that it is an ES1 (Engineering Sample) desktop processor with a 65W TDP and clock speeds of 3.4 GHz base and 3.8 GHz boost. The chip has four cores and eight threads which means we would indeed be looking at entry level Ryzen 3 parts with quad-core designs. The chip also comes with 2 MB of L2 and 16 MB of L3 cache. AMD’s Ryzen 3000 series is powered by the Zen 2 core architecture which is based around the 7nm node so we should see better clock speeds in the final variants, especially the 95W+ TDP parts.

Now coming to the motherboard, the chip was spotted running on an AMD X570 platform. The specific motherboard in question is the MSI MEG X570 Creation. The MEG Creation series was first announced for AMD’s High-End Desktop X399 platform and later came to the X299 platform. The MEG hasn’t yet made its way to the mainstream platforms but looks like AMD’s X570 chipset would be the first to get the MSI MEG Creation treatment.

There’s obviously no mention of specifications for the board itself but the MEG X570 Creation is likely to be the flagship motherboard from MSI when the Ryzen 3000 series lineup launches. The motherboard would also be the most expensive but would come with a wide array of features and a powerful VRM that would allow you to push the Ryzen 3000 series processors to their maximum overclock potential.

AMD X570 Chipset – A New Home For AMD’s Next-Gen Ryzen 3000 Series CPUs

As we saw with X470, there were a few features for the Ryzen 2000 series processors which were only supported by new motherboards such as Precision Boost Overdrive and XFR 2.0. There’s no doubt that AMD’s Zen 2 based Ryzen mainstream processor family would come with new features but the main highlight would be support for PCIe Gen4. The X570 platform would be all PCIe Gen4 solution which means this would most probably be the first consumer platform to feature support for the new PCIe standard.

That, however, doesn’t mean that AMD Ryzen 3000 series would only be compatible on X570 boards since just like last time, the new CPUs will be backward compatible with X470 & X370 boards too and new BIOS firmware has already started rolling out on existing motherboards.

In addition to MSI motherboards, we also got to see ASUS X570 chipset based lineup including their ROG series which this time includes the ROG Crosshair VIII Formula, leak a while ago.

What features are you most interested to see in the upcoming AMD X570 motherboards lineup?

• Better I/O (USB,SATA,M.2,PCIe 4.0,10G LAN, Wireless WiFi)
• Better VRMs and Power Delivery (Good Overclocking Support)
• Better Cooling Heatsinks (Fin design)
• Better Prices Than Last Gen
