2nd Gen AMD Ryzen CPU
If you’ve seen our latest video, then you’ll know that we at MOBhouse Productions are very fortunate to be among the very first to receive the review kit for the 2nd gen AMD Ryzen CPU, codenamed Pinnacle Ridge. The review kit included the Ryzen 5 2600X and Ryzen 7 2700X, as well as 2 X470 motherboards.
New X470 Motherboards
It’s always good to see a CPU manufacturer stick to the same socket when releasing new processors and chipsets. As promised, it seems that the socket AM4 is going to be around for quite a bit longer.
Here are the two motherboards that we received in the review kit:
- MSI X470 Gaming M7 AC
- Gigabyte X470 Aorus Gaming 7 Wifi
