No, they are similar in design but differ slightly in features like Wi-Fi capabilities and specific chipset options.

I understand the TUF model has more buyers, but there are some key differences you should consider. There are certain components to watch out for between the two. I’m curious if there’s a significant issue with the X570-plus that you should be aware of, or if the X570-P will work just fine. Since you don’t require Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, USB devices are sufficient. You don’t need the additional audio connectors or the DP port on the motherboard. I’m open to more options as long as these points are addressed. Also, it’s not a GIGABYTE board (past issue), it supports PCIe 4.0, and it’s compatible with AMD Ryzen 5800X3D at a max price of $200.
The TUF offers a much better VRM compared to the Prime-P. If you're targeting a Ryzen 9 processor, choosing the TUF would be ideal. However, it seems you likely don’t require an X570 board at all. Options like B550 TUF, B550-A Pro, or B550 Steel Legend provide similar motherboards at a lower cost, with only minor differences such as multiple Gen 4 SSDs—irrelevant for a gaming setup.
