This motherboard was shown off at computex earlier this year along with the launch of x570. It's only in mini itx boards. Several of the tech tubers who did coverage at computex showed it off. They explained the reason for using the Intel 115x mounting system on the AMD mini-itx boards was that it took up less physical space on the motherboard than the AM4 socket mounting mechanism.

To add on, the AM4 mounting dimensions are 54x90mm. The 90mm part makes it difficult to fit SMDs above and below the socket. With the Intel mounting (75x75mm) they can place the VRMs between the socket and the top edge of the board.
