In a slide leaked from a private event hosted by motherboard manufacturer Gigabyte it has been revealed that AMD’s third generation Ryzen desktop platform will be launching at Computex 2019 in June. This platform will include AMD’s first client-segment processor based on its “Zen 2” microarchitecture, codenamed “Matisse” and its companion chipset, the AMD X570.
AMD’s third generation Ryzen matched with the X570 chipset is expected to be the world’s first mainstream desktop platform to feature PCI-Express gen 4.0. AMD could make the processor compatible with older 300 and 400-series motherboard by shaping its PCI-Express implementation to use external re-drivers based on the motherboard.
