Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens OC_Formula and LexPan for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, December 29, AMD launched the Ruilong 7000 series processor at the end of September. Shortly after its release, AMD seemed to realize that the initial price might be high, so it began to cut prices sharply in November, reducing the flagship model R9 7950X from 5499 yuan to 3999 yuan.

According to the latest news, AMD also plans to reduce the price of the motherboard, and AMD partners may push a new batch of motherboards and cut off "unnecessary" features such as PCIe 5.0.

Harukaze5719, the whistleblower, said that AMD and its partners plan to launch a new motherboard that supports core functions and removes elements such as PCIe 5.0 to achieve a higher performance-to-price ratio.

CTOnews.com learned that the current PCIe 4.0'16 interface for graphics cards has not yet become a bottleneck for high-performance graphics cards, and Nvidia's RTX 4090, 4080 and other graphics cards do not support PCIe 5.0 connection directly, so it seems a waste for some motherboards with lower positioning to be equipped with PCIe 5.0'16 interface. In addition, cutting off the PCIe 5.0M.2 interface will not have much impact, and the popularity of high-end PCIe 5.0M.2 SSD will still take some time.

If the revelations are accurate, AMD partners may begin to launch some "subtractive" AM5 motherboards next year.
