Sapphire is introducing its first 800-series motherboard. The B850M NITRO+ is essentially a refresh of the B650M NITRO+, with both motherboards looking nearly identical and featuring only minor updates to the specifications.

The B850M NITRO+ is a Micro-ATX motherboard with an AM5 socket.
It supports all Ryzen 7000, 8000, and 9000 CPUs, although specific SKU support is not mentioned. Given its recent launch, it should support all 9000X3D CPUs.
The board features a single PCIe 5.0 x16 interface and one PCIe 4.0 x4. There is one PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot and one PCIe 4.0 version.
Based on our research, the memory overclocking support has increased from 7600 MT/s+ to 8000 MT/s. Keep in mind that these figures may be higher for both motherboards; this is just what Sapphire guarantees when paired with a supported memory kit.

Sapphire's been making uniquely attractive motherboards for decades. Sadly, most rarely if ever see the shores of North America.
Same case here. At least for the time being, this is a China Exclusive SKU.
