Thank you for pointing this out, the specifications will be adjusted. Our suppliers and the manufacturer's number indicate that this is a B650 E motherboard.

This motherboard uses the (edit: AMD B650E chipset). It supports PCIe 5.0, which includes PCIe 5.0 M.2 slots, but specific details about PCIe 16x Gen 5 slots are not explicitly mentioned in the provided information. However, given the PCIe 5.0 support, it is likely to include PCIe 5.0 x16 slots for graphics cards, which is typical for motherboards with PCIe 5.0 capabilities.

The AMD AM5 Socket B650E is in the mid-range and offers good value for money. It supports PCIe Gen.5 for NVMe memory as well as graphics cards, which makes it future-proof in my opinion. There are only a few GPUs with Gen.5 (expensive). NVMe with Gen.5 is super fast, but needs good M.5 coolers, Gen.4 is sufficient for most applications. Here is an overview of the specs for AM5 sockets: https://www.amd.com/de/products/processors/chipsets/am5.html I bought this motherboard in March for a new gaming+office PC also because it has WLAN and I am very happy with it.
