This might be a stupid question, but what is the difference between the Gigabyte B650 AORUS ELITE AX and the GIGABYTE B650E AORUS ELITE AX?

 

I'm confused...

Bit of digging and Google, and I found the short answer:

  • So I guess it's more features and PCIe 5.0

AMD tiers their motherboards like this:

  1. X670E
  2. X670
  3. B650E
  4. B650

"E" is meant to represent guaranteed PCIE 5.0 support for both M.2 and PCIE 5.0 x16, however manufactures can add it to non E boards. Plenty of B650 boards with a Gen 5 M.2 slot.

 

Gen 5 SSD's are a bit too ahead of the game, not that many people need massive sequential speeds and no Gen 5 GPU's exist just yet, so not too much to worry about.

Desktop: Ryzen 7 5800X3D - Kraken X62 Rev 2 - STRIX X470-I - 3600MHz 32GB Kingston Fury - 250GB 970 Evo boot - 2x 500GB 860 Evo - 1TB P3 - 4TB HDD - RX6800 - RMx 750 W 80+ Gold - Manta - Silent Wings Pro 4's enjoyer

Setup: Zowie XL2740 27.0" 240hz - Roccat Burt Pro - Corsair K70 LUX browns - PC38X - Mackie CR5X's - 

Current build on PCPartPicker

Honestly I can't foresee *anyone* needing PCIe5 SSD speeds in the next 5+ years. The spec seems to exist primarily for hyperscale data centers
