GIGABYTE B850M FORCE

The new GIGABYTE motherboards provides the most efficient solution to enjoy boosted performance of PCIe Gen5 on the existing platform. PCIe 5.0 doubles the data transfer rate of PCIe 4.0 from 16 GT/s to 32 GT/s per lane. This substantial increase in bandwidth particularly benefits high-performance graphics cards, storage devices, and AI accelerators that demand faster data movement.
