There will be two variants of B650:I'm interested to see what B650 boards come out later this year. Finger's crossed there'll be an ITX board with full fledged Thunderbolt 4! That MAY be enough to compel me to move on from my ATX B550 Vision D-P build, but probably only after a healthy price drop and hopefully by then DDR5 prices will also have come down at least a tad. Perhaps by then there will also be some more higher wattage SFX PSU options out there too. Wait and see mode for me!

DDR5 prices are already less than half of what they were at the start of the year. I paid US$500 for 32GB of G.Skill 5600MHz memory back in late December, but it's now available for US$225 or so.
Because I skipped Zen 3 -- that is, never purchased a Ryzen 5000 series CPU -- I'm tempted to embrace AM5 and Ryzen 7000.
