Here's the link with the comparison with other models. Sorry for the order, I have picked the SKU as they appeared on the website. I have added 450 as well.
Some noticeable differences can be that the new X570

* supports more Ryzen generations than B550i.
* has worse DP output than B550i (4096x2304@60 Hz vs 5120x2880@60 Hz). Does that make sense?
*
same RAM (OC) support (up to 5Ghz.).
* has x2 M2 sockets up to PCIe 4.0 (only 5000 series). Unsure if B550 is x1 PCIe 4.0 and x1 3.0. But it's most likely to be
*
Way more/better (IMO) USB frontal connectivity. This might seem irrelevant, but when you spend +200€ on an ITX case which only comes with USB-C connectors, you wish to have at least one USB-C frontal connector in the mobo so you don't have to remove the connector from the panel. If you can choose, choose to have one. Lately, we expect other devices like monitors to have one.

So x2 M2 PCIe 4.0 and better USB connectivity. I would not dare to say that x570 mobos are better assembled or of much more quality than b550. Neither for the PCB nor the VRMs or anything else. That would defeat economy of scale and Gigabyte is very much into that.

So this board was just released in limited markets, like some Asian countries and Australia? Waiting many months for this to show up Europe. Seems pointless.

As a footnote to this, you can buy the board from Amazon Japan for ¥41,420 or $358.41/€315.44/£263.76 (as of writing) before shipping and taxes.

Considering AM5 just got announced it's a bit late and a bit pricey for what it is.

Curious if any of you bought this board and have feedback on it? Considering it for my 5950x ITX move.

Anyone anywhere on planet earth knows where to buy this board? or anyone selling this unicorn? :) 🙃
I have one I'm not using. has a tiny cosmetic scratch on its lower silver part over the heatsink, but I'd be happy to sell it. Message me if you'd like and I'll send over pictures. Have a 5950x with it that I'm not using also lol.
