Currently, there is little information on X590 motherboards. In the Computerbase forum, a user was the first to point out an X590 board in the BIOS code. With the insider information from Videocardz, the hints that X590 boards could be planned are now solidifying.
Are there more active PCIe lanes than X570 motherboards? Currently, it is suspected that X590 motherboards could offer more PCIe 4.0 lanes. The X570 provides 16 PCIe lanes and four for the uplink to the processor. However, the Ryzen 3000 series offers 24 PCIe 4.0 lanes. So far, the X570 motherboard does not use all of the processor’s lanes.
