I don't understand why AMD keeps using Zen2. Given the systems that will use those APUs, going with Zen3 would have been a much better choice.

Also, regarding the chipsets:

AMD confirmed that X670E (Extreme) is designed for “Unparalleled Capability and Extreme Overclocking”. It is designed to offer PCIe Gen5 ‘everywhere’. On the other hand we have X670 for “Enthusiasts Overclocking” with Gen5 storage support and optionally graphics. The mainstream platform based on B650 chipset will support PCIe Gen5 for storage only.

I think AMD is doing it wrong. Given the expected price of Gen5 NVMe drives, crazy expensive, it would make more sense to use use those lanes for the GPU and not storage.
