Ryzen x470 chipset, looking for info.

Does anyone have any information on the new AMD x470 chipset? Such as the differences between it and the older x370? Is AMD planning on releasing a B450 chipset later?

Curious minds want to know...

Really the only difference is the included StoreMI thing. All the OC/boosting stuff is either native to the chip (XFR2, PB2) or should be in recent/imminent BIOS updates on the B350 and X370 (PB Overdrive). Because of how well PB2 works it looks like, settings-wise, it's actually better to stick to stock (with Overdrive, if you wish) instead of forcing a somewhat higher all-core OC at the cost of single-/dual-core turbo. Better cooling removes that boost limit and better/better-cooled VRMs lets the removed-power-limit of PBO do its work. So it's basically a search for good components no matter the nominal chipset.

There's a B450 scheduled at some point but again there's likely to be no hardware difference vs the B350. Unless some new models get better VRMs, anyway...
