The first compact motherboard for AMD Ryzen 9000

We recently reported that AMD will offer a new family of Ryzen 9000 processors for sale at the end of July. The newcomers will be based on a completely renewed Zen 5 processor core and a powerful integrated RDNA graphics card. In total, the company AMD is said to offer for sale as many as six newcomers. Although AMD's new Ryzen 9000 family processors are not yet on sale, ASRock has already prepared the first Mini-ITX motherboard for them.

The ASRock X600TM-ITX motherboard is of course intended for compact computer systems. However, it will support all AMD processors with the AMD AM5 socket. In addition, support for DDR5 6400 system memories is provided here. There is also support for various data interfaces and wireless technologies, so it will easily convince many. The new ASRock X600TM-ITX motherboard will be available before autumn.

It should also be noted that the novelty will also be compatible with the most powerful AMD Ryzen 9 9950X model. If the recently revealed performance tests of the newcomer are to be believed, it should be as much as 41 percent more powerful compared to the competing Core i9-14900K processor in the program Handbrake and up to 22 percent more powerful in the game Horizon Zero Dawn. In the case of the Ryzen 7 9700X model, we are talking about 42 percent and 31 percent higher performance compared to the Intel Core i7-14700K processor. The AMD Ryzen 5 9600X model won't be too shabby either, as it will offer as much as 94 percent or 29 percent more performance compared to the Core i5-14600K model.

In addition, AMD's 9000 family processors are said to be even cheaper compared to current models. The Ryzen 9 9950X and Ryzen 9 9900X processors should be 137 euros cheaper compared to the Ryzen 9 7900X model. The Ryzen 7 9700X model will be around 92 euros cheaper, and the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X model will be around 65 euros cheaper. In practice, this means that European prices will most likely receive an even bigger "discount".
