In recent years, Biostar has adopted a relatively aggressive market strategy, trying to become more competitive in the consumer market, catching up with several first-tier brands, and sometimes launching some relatively high-spec and distinctive products in the market. At Computex 2022, Biostar showed a new generation of AMD motherboards called X670E Valkyrie, which adopts a more concise design and uses a lot of angular lines.

Valkyrie was previously used in Intel’s flagship products of Biostar, and this time AMD’s next-generation platform will also launch the Valkyrie series. However, judging from some of the public information, the positioning of the X670E Valkyrie motherboard is probably in the middle of the X670E motherboards announced by major manufacturers.

According to TechPowerup, the PCIe x16 slot of the X670E Valkyrie is PCIe 5.0. When users use the first and second PCIe x16 slots at the same time, they will be split into two eight-lane slots, and the third PCIe x16 slot will be PCIe 4.0 specification.

Biostar equipped the X670E Valkyrie with four M.2 slots but didn’t specify what the PCIe 5.0 M.2 slots are. Given that the X670E chipset mandates support for PCIe 5.0 SSDs, we guess that the M.2 slot closest to the CPU, that is, close to the first PCIe x16 slot supports PCIe 5.0, the other three M.2 slots depending on the specific situation, and there is also an M.2 E-key slot to support Wi-Fi/Bluetooth modules.

Other features listed by Biostar include the use of Realtek chips to support 2.5 Gbps Ethernet, equipped with HDMI interface and DisplayPort interface, six SATA interfaces, USB Type-C Gen 3.2 2×2 (20 Gbps) specification front, and rear interface, etc. The X670E Valkyrie motherboard is equipped with four DDR5 memory slots and supports a 5600MHz+ clock. According to AMD’s presentation and explanation in the keynote speech, it seems that it is not a problem for the AM5 platform to reach a clock of 6000MHz or above.
