Future AMD ZEN motherboards with Micro ITX support?

No reason they couldn't be. Will have to wait and see.

But AMD do need to make some money back, so I imagine where there's a market, they're gonna try and fill it.

Hi guys,

 

Just wondering if anybody had any thoughts on the possibility of future AMD Zen supporting motherboards being produced in a Mini ITX form factor?

 

I would really like to build a mini PC, but i would rather wait and see what happens with AMD rather than buy Intel straight away.

The reason AM3+ didn't have an mITX board was because of the use of a north- and southbridge on that platform. There simply wasn't any room to put all of that+ a big socket+ 2 full-sized DIMM slots on a puny mITX board. Now that we have just one chipset we'll see more than enough mITX boards on AM4. It has become a bigger market in recent years with people wanting small but powerful machines, so there's no reason for AMD and its motherboard partners to not have an mITX lineup. Both with the low-end A320 chipset as well as the higher end overclocking boards with the B350 and X370 chipsets. That's so great about B350. It's a mid-range chipset similar to Intel's H series, but the big difference is that B350 still allows overclocking.

 

So you'll have a cheaper mITX board with an unlocked 4,6 or 8-core Ryzen chip and Vega in the future. Nice innit?

Ye ole' train

I mean... AMD already has parts in the Mini ITX form factor...

Please spend as much time writing your question, as you want me to spend responding to it.  Take some time, and explain your issue, please!

Yea, AMD hasn't made any 9xx series chipset products in like 6 years...  Their new parts the A88X chipset has TONS of nicely packaged stuff.
