Gigabyte Launches B850M Force microATX Motherboards, Reviving Orange Force Series for AMD AM5 Processors

Recently, many consumer devices, including computer components, seem to be suffering from supply chain issues. A bit of a side example: Smartphones with flagship SoCs from the penultimate generation that have unexpectedly low RAM and storage from an outdated series, such as UFS 3.1.

This is an mATX board. Not too many 3x m.2s mATX boards.

What the hell is that PS/2 port doing on the I/O plate? Is it 1982 again?

It's called overall compatibility. Like a mini jack on a smartphone..
 
This board could be a very good RAM overclocker with its 2 DIMM slot design, but the size of the board itself is worrying for those with a dedicated sound card & avoiding putting it too close to a high end dGPU.
Even if it had a SPDIF output, the costs of a decent AV receiver means more big $ to invest for superior sound quality. Sound cards are cheaper.
