My guess is they're just trying really hard to eliminate reasons for anyone to buy a Ryzen. They matched on core-count (okay, with hybrid cores), surpassed on DRAM and PCIe revisions, surpassed on PCIe lanes, and now they've even surpassed Ryzen on ECC! Speaking of memory, the X13SAE-F uses ECC or non-ECC DDR5 RAM at speeds up to 4400 MHz. Memory support is currently limited to 4x 32GB or 128GB of total memory, though it is possible that the system might eventually support more if 64GB unbuffered DDR5 DIMMs are ever released.
There is a somewhat similar one from Gigabyte https://www.gigabyte.com/Press/News/1984, that seems slightly better in terms of availability, but with no Raptor Lake commitment currently. Some of the main features of the W680 chipset include a PCIe 4.0 x8 DMI link, which connects the processor to the chipset for improved bandwidth over Intel's previous W-series chipsets. Other features include support for up to eight SATA ports and integrated Wi-Fi 6E PHY/2.5 GbE MACs for vendors to hook in the latest networking controllers. Intel includes support for 16x PCIe 5.0 lanes from the CPU, with the usual 16/0 or 8/8 bifurcation options.

I followed the links to scrutinize the specs and search for a catch, but they don't even mention Xeon! I’m considering to renew my PC (An 10 year old Xeon E3-1245v2 on Supermicro X9SAE-V with 16 GiB of ECC RAM).
PCIe slot connectivity on the X13SAE-F is pretty good, with dual PCIe x16 5.0 slots capable of operating as x16/x0 or x8/x8. Between them are a pair of open-ended PCIe 3.0 x4 slots, and a lone old-school PCI slot at the end for even the oldest legacy add-in cards.

One choice would be an Ryzen 9 7900 (non-X) with an Asus AM5 motherboard, another would be this Supermicro X13SAE with a Intel 13700. I like the very long term support that supermicro has (BIOS upgrades and so on), but i think that the 13900 or even the 13700 could be too much power hungry for this board. It is supposed to support up to 125 TDP CPU with up to 8P+8E cores. The heatsink on VRM are very small (if we compare them to other motherboards VRM’s heatsink).I red James C. Owen post in reddit and it seems that he is using this board at full power on a 24×7 basis, apparently without problems. He has a very convenient air flow, though. VBAT, System temperature, CPU temperature, 3.3V standby, 1.05 (PCH), +5V standby, +5V, +3.3V, +12V, CPU thermal trip support, +1.8V PCH x PCIe Gen4 Slots (PCIE1/PCIE3:single at x16(PCIE1); dual at x8 (PCIE1) / x8 (PCIE3)) (PCIE1: Support riser card x8/x8) The BIOS provides the ability to override PL1, PL2 and Tau, and I currently have PL2 set at 350W (which is probably above the max the CPU can actually draw), PL 1 at 200W, and Tau at 64 secs. At the time of writing, Supermicro hasn't shared any information regarding the availability or pricing on its X13 (W680) motherboards.
Enter the Intel W680 chipset, which is Intel's designated workstation chipset for its 12th Gen Core platform. The Intel W680 chipset is interesting for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is that that it formally opens up ECC memory support for Intel's Alder Lake-S desktop processors.

Supports Overclocking
In testing the X13SAE, we had no issues setting it up with our 12900K and basic kit of DDR5. Without XMP support, our 6000MHz kit of memory loaded up at 4400MHz at CL36. This gave us lower than normal performance in the benchmarks tested compared to our Z690 testing.
I’d rather prefer a DDR4-3200 ECC board, because those DIMMs are relatively easy to get and I might just lend it half of the 128GB I have in my Ryzen 5950X for a while. If using PCIEx8/x16 card on PCIE2/PCIE4 slot, M.2 Key M2(M2_M2) and M.2 Key E(M2_E1) are limited to install.

Per VM encryption is another feature that's currently only supported on EPYCs, while the silicon is all there in all variants of the chips. I wish they’d add a proper 10Gbit NIC already (it seems the board is prepared for it), but at least the x4 slot is open ended and a good fit for an ACQ107 or 113. I set up a new workstation with the Supermicro X13SAE motherboard. See https://www.reddit.com/r/lianli/comments/zmrlnn/old_and_new_workstation/. (The new workstation is now at the 3 monitor table, unlike the picture.) Both of the Supermicro X13 (W680) allow users to use Alder Lake-S processors with a base TDP of 125 W, and both are using a Realtek ALC888S HD audio codec. They share the same connectivity options, including HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4, and DVI video outputs, as well as three USB 3.2 G2 Type-A and one USB 3.2 G1 Type-A port on the rear panel.
