Sapphire has a range of AMD motherboards on display at Computex 2025. These are proper desktop motherboards, intended for chips like the Ryzen 9000 family of processors, and their X3D counterparts. The boards all share similar branding to Sapphire's graphics card line-up too, for instance, there is the Sapphire Nitro+ X870 WiFi Phantom Link, which is a BTF motherboard with the power connectors placed on the back of the board. There are also Nitro+ B850 motherboards in both ATX and M-ATX sizes.
The Phantom Link concept is also making its way over to graphics cards. Sapphire has a new Nitro+ RX 9070 XT Phantom Link graphics card on display here at Computex. These cards are designed to be paired with BTF motherboards, like the X870 WiFi Phantom Link, so you can achieve a ‘cable-free' build. The power connector for the card is moved from the front side to the back side of the graphics card, so you don't have to route the cable all the way through the front of your case. The end result is an extremely clean build with no wires visible from the case window.
Another product Sapphire is keen to show off this year is the Edge AI. It is a mini PC, running on an AMD laptop processor, up to a Ryzen AI 9 HX 370. The processor is paired with a 1TB SSD and up to 32GB of SODIMM DDR5 memory. Sapphire may also consider a ‘barebones' version of the kit, similar to the various Intel NUC kits we've seen over the years.
