Source: vortez.net (read 2026-06-19) STALE · 2026-06-19 · corroborated by newegg.com (read 2026-06-19). CORRECTED: Socket AM5, B650 chipset, ATX, DDR5, 3x M.2 (1x PCIe 5.0 x4 CPU-connected + 2x PCIe 4.0 x4), Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax). As a B650 (non-E) board the main GPU x16 slot is PCIe 4.0, NOT PCIe 5.0 -- Vortez review and Gigabyte spec confirm 'eschews PCIe 5.0 GPU signalling in favour of PCIe 4.0'. pcie_5 remains true because one M.2 slot is PCIe 5.0 x4 (feature present). Draft's claim of a 'PCIe 5.0 x16 slot' was false and has been removed. Launch/street price $229.99 (Vortez, Best Buy), corrected from draft's $219.99.
