It remains a solid choice, though I believe the B450 offers more security for the long term.
It's actually preferable, though keep in mind that the BIOS might not function properly with a 2nd generation CPU unless an update is applied. This situation relies on the timing of when the board was manufactured. It's not an issue here, but similar concerns apply to higher-level components like the Prime X470 Pro.
Additional SATA connections, fewer M.2 slots—though the B450-E includes extra M.2 at a trade-off. Improved rear USB speeds, reduced RGB options, no wireless but supports SLI. Overall performance remains similar but features vary.
It could be true or false. Should the board appear in later production versions, it will have BIOS updated to accommodate the second generation and will start up properly. If manufactured before and stored in a warehouse without attention, it may not work.
