Intel kinda made this easier by having non-overclockable CPUs or chipsets, where VRMs on such boards don't have to be quite as expensive. Nowadays, motherboard VRMs have to be built to withstand as much as 24 CPU cores, and that's a problem if you're trying to make a budget-oriented board. Not only would that save space on a board like this (and again, only has to interface with the mobo) but it would make boards significantly cheaper for both the consumer and the manufacturer (when you account for RMAs). What I would really like to see is slotted VRMs.
Makes me wonder why it couldn't have been mounted on the rear face of the board - surely there would have been enough room there? It's pretty common to have expansion slots on the rear of ITX boards, so why not the chipset too? I think this is fine, since the chipset really only has to interface with the rest of the mobo. The pricing for this motherboard has yet to be announced. This motherboard is an excellent solution for users who are looking for a Mini-ITX motherboard that delivers superior expandability and features. The motherboard boasts two USB 4 Type-C ports with 40 Gbps throughput, DisplayPort support, a Wi-Fi 6E + Bluetooth 5.2 adapter, a 2.5GbE controller, and multiple USB ports. The dual-chip X670E chipset and an additional Promontory 21 chip, combined with the primary X670E platform controller hub (PCH), result in a system that frees up PCIe lanes for various input/output interfaces. This add-on card enables an additional M.2 PCIe 4.0 x4 slot and I/O controllers. However, Asus has found a unique solution by placing the second chipset chip (Promontory 21) on an add-on PCIe card, as reported by Uniko's Hardware.
The motherboard features the top-of-the-range X670E chipset for AM5 motherboards, which has been a challenge for Mini-ITX motherboards to feature due to the dual-chip core logic. Taiwan-based technology giant, Asus, has introduced a cutting-edge ROG Strix X670E-I motherboard for AMD Ryzen 7000-series processors that promises to deliver superior expandability.
