It copies the older B650E Aorus Pro X USB4 in many points, but it is not a “perfect clone”. In some ways the Gigabyte X870 Aorus Elite WiFi7 has the upper hand, in others it lags behind. However, this mid-range motherboard is definitely worth your attention. Those who were frustrated by the in some places relatively poor connectivity of the Asus TUF Gaming X870 Plus WiFi may now be satisfied.

Please note: On the LGA 1700 platform, in the reduced power mode (IPL) to the long-term 125 W level, since last December, we observe lower compute performance than was the case with older BIOSes. The power consumption is indeed as expected, but that’s with inefficient clock speed management. Within it, the E-cores get more space (manifested by their higher clock speeds) than the P-cores, for which there is not much left. This typically results in significantly lower clock speeds (of the P-cores of the test CPU model) than what they used to be.

Test environment: We use well distributed projects BMW (510 tiles) and Classroom (2040 tiles) and the renderer Cycles. Render settings are set to None, with which all the work falls on the CPU.
