ASRock X670E Taichi Carrara
The ASRock X670E Taichi Carrara is a special edition motherboard, designed to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of ASRock, Taichi Carrara resembles the high strength as well as the esthetic of Carrara marble, they are also the key elements while developing this motherboard. The motherboard has a high-end 26-Phase SPS Dr.MOS power delivery and features four DDR5 DIMM slots supporting up to 128 GB capacities and overclocked (EXPO) profiles up to DDR5-6600+(OC). The CPU socket is powered by a dual 8-pin connector configuration. Expansion slots include two PCIe Gen 5.0 x16 slots (x16/x8 electrical), a single PCIe Gen 5 x4, and three PCIe Gen 4 x4 M.2 slots, all of which are covered by large metallic heatsinks. There are also eight SATA III ports. I/O includes 5 USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A, 7 USB 3.2 Gen 1, and dual USB 4 ports. It also comes with WiFi 6E capabilities and a 2.5 GbE Ethernet LAN port. Specification

ASRock X670E Taichi
The ASRock X670E Taichi shares the same design as the Carrara offering. Both motherboards are equipped with many exciting features and new technology such as PCIe 5.0 & DDR5 capability, the insane IO capability including the support of Thunderbolt 4.0 has pushed the X670 platform even further into a high-end desktop category, and ASRock went all out on the VRM design too, with a total of 26 phases SPS Dr.MOS design on the X670E Taichi, it is the most powerful AM5 product ASRock can offer. Besides the color difference, I expect the standard Taichi to cost a bit lower considering the other model is more of a collectible item. Specification

ASRock X670E Steel Legend
The ASRock X670E Steel Legend is supposed to be another strong mainstream offering with an 18 Phase SPS design and a range of features such as PCIe Gen 5.0 expansion slots, M.2 ports, and also several Gen 4 ports. The board features dual LAN capabilities with a 2.5 GbE and a 1 GbE Ethernet connection. The motherboard should end up around the $300-$350 US price range. Specification

ASRock X670E Pro RS
The ASRock X670E Pro RS seems to be an entry-level offering that should be priced around the $250-$300 US segment. It will come with a 16 Phase VRM and features a nice gunmetal silver & black aesthetic. The motherboard also offers PCIe Gen 5.0 expansion and M.2 slots. I/O includes WiFi 6E capabilities and a Dragon 2.5 GbE LAN port with tons of USB ports to work with. Specification

ASRock X670E PG Lightning
Lastly, we have the ASRock X670E PG Lightning which is one board that the manufacturer hasn’t shown off much. The board is the most entry-level solution but still offers an 18 Phase VRM with an 8+4 pin CPU power connector configuration. It carries a single PCIe Gen 5.0 x16 and Gen 5.0 x4 M.2 slot and comes with the most basic I/O that would want on a motherboard. Since ASRock doesn’t have the product page live yet, we can’t tell the exact number of USB ports or I/O capabilities but it definitely lacks WiFi 6E.
