sorted byGPU Slot - PCIe 4.0
M.2 slots (NVMe) PCIe 4.0 (PCIe 5.0 is optional)
Total number of PCIe lanes: 36, as opposed to 44 in higher end chipsets
10Gbps USB : 6 , double so 12 on higher end chipsets
20 Gbps USB: 1 , doble so 2 on higher end chipsets
Max number of SATA ports: 4, double on higher end chipsets

If anyone has any corrections then please reply and state them or any additional information. The other chipset that wasn't included in this comparison is A620. I've found a comparison table here >

So why is B650M missing from these tables? Simple it has exactly the same specification as B650 but the M in B650M means Micro, so the board is mATX.

Summary:
B650 and B650M usually sacrifices PCIe 5.0 support (not that useful currently) and some PCIe lanes and various I/O. When boards do support PCIe 5.0 they don't always support it for GPU and M.2 NVME unless they are chipsets ending with E (means Extreme) although it certainly doesn't matter for GPU currently. PCIe 5.0 is more for higher end usage really. PCIe 3.0 and 4.0 are easily good enough for gamers/general users currently. (edited)
Great price though, cheaper than some last gen boards lol.
Obviously losing out on some stuff to keep costs down but really nice price to get into current gen.
Also new bios out yesterday:

The Asrock seems like a better shout for a bit more
