ASRock Launches New AMD WRX90 & TRX50 Motherboards to Maximize Productivity for Creators and Machine Learning Leading global motherboard manufacturer, ASRock, proudly announces its new WRX90 WS EVO & TRX50 WS motherboard for new AMD Ryzen™ Threadripper™ 7000 and AMD Ryzen™ Threadripper™ PRO 7000 WX-Series processors. The new motherboards support 4/8 channel memory up to […]
The Gigabyte board appears to have “3 x M.2 Gen 5 M.2” whereas this seems to have just one Gen 5 M.2. https://asrock.com/MB/AMD/TRX50%20WS/index.asp
Of course one of the advantages of Threadripper is all the lanes and it would be great to use them to get some insanely fast M.2 Raid action going. With the ASRock board, you’ll need to get a separate card to do that with PCIe 5 drives.
If the TRX40 and WRX80 boards are any indication, they’ll all come with a 4x m.2 pcie card anyway.
The ASUS WRX90 board was just announced and that has onboard 4 x M.2 PCIe Gen5. So I am guessing the ASUS WRX board may not.
ASUS is highlighting that as one of the differences between the TRX and WRX boards. And the active cooling the WRX board has for it on board.
