It's unclear how much variation exists between the different AM5 chipset options. While E ones with PCIe Gen5 seem more versatile, comparisons between B650 and X670, or AM4 generations, are hard to generalize.

There’s pretty wide compatibility for am4 too, the thing is it’s all lower. The fastest cpu you can put on am4 is 5950x there is vastly slower and older stuff too though. It is unknown how far am5 will go. Consumers really liked how long am4 lasted and there is pressure to make am5 do that too. That’s all in the future though and may not happen.
