In this part of the video, the focus is on the specifications and features of the x670 and x670 E-Series motherboards, particularly in relation to memory and connectivity options. It is mentioned that these boards do not support DDR4 RAM because the chipset itself does not accommodate it. The speaker highlights the inclusion of four M.2 slots, with one PCIe 5.0 compliant slot offering data transfer speeds up to 128 gigabits per second, and three others supporting PCIe 4.0 at 64 gigabits per second each. Thermal management is addressed with thick heat shields provided by Asus for these slots.
Additionally, the discussion covers storage options including legacy SATA 3 connectors. For expansion, three PCIe slots are detailed: two 16-lane slots and one 4-lane slot, with the primary slot supporting PCIe 5.0 and reinforced for optimal GPU performance. Despite the robust features, a noted drawback is the lack of a PCIe unlocking mechanism, a potential area for Asus to improve in future iterations.

In this part of the video, the presenter discusses the back IO and other key features of the AMD Ryzen 7000 series motherboard. Highlights include the availability of integrated graphics on every Ryzen 7000 series motherboard, multiple high-speed USB ports (including USB 3.2 and USB4), a 2.5 gigabit LAN, and a Dual Band Wi-Fi 6E adapter. The back IO setup allows for up to 90 gigabits per second of bandwidth, enhancing performance. There are also new features like a flashback button for CPU-less BIOS upgrades and an advanced Realtek audio codec for high recording quality. The segment also touches on the upgraded chipset requiring improved cooling solutions and the addition of PCIE5 support to the GPU slot as well as USB 4.0 front panel connectors. These improvements aim to provide faster data transfer rates and better overall performance for AMD-powered systems.
