Overview
- GIGABYTE revealed the X870 AORUS INFINITY at its Computex media event on Monday as an E‑ATX board that closely follows the X870 AORUS TACHYON ICE PCB while adopting a new visual design.
- The X870 AORUS INFINITY uses a rotated AM5 socket with two DIMM slots, dedicated overclocking buttons, two PCIe 5.0 x16 physical slots that operate at x16 and x8 bandwidth, and a new tool-free PCIe EZ‑Latch UP to make GPU removal easier.
- The X870E AORUS INFINITY NEXT is a commemorative prototype that uses metal 3D printing for its top cover, M.2 heatsink, backplate and vapor plate and employs a claimed 64‑phase VRM built from Infineon OptiMOS parts, but GIGABYTE says it has no mass‑production plan at this time.
- GIGABYTE also showed INFINITY‑branded GPUs, including the AORUS GeForce RTX 5080 INFINITY WOOD and previously teased RTX 5090 INFINITY designs, which are presented as design‑forward, limited halo products rather than broadly available retail parts.
- The INFINITY lineup ties to GIGABYTE’s 40th anniversary and illustrates a two‑track approach: practical, production hardware with user‑focused tweaks and experimental, high‑craft pieces aimed at collectors and brand building.
