Sapphire now offers globally NITRO+ B850A and B850M with WiFi 7, PCIe 5.0 and DDR5 support at more than 8000 MT/s for Ryzen 9000

Sapphire does not want to be “just the graphics brand.” With the NITRO+ B850A WIFI7 (ATX) and NITRO+ B850M WIFI (mATX) consolidates its leap into the high-performance motherboard market and does so with a very clear proposal: electrical stability, good thermal performance and state-of-the-art connectivity. They don’t come to experiment; They come to offer a solid foundation for anyone thinking about a Ryzen 9000 and don’t want to worry about bottlenecks or a capricious BIOS.

Design and power where it belongs

The key is in the VRM: a intelligent 12+2+1 phase scheme, with double 8-pin connector and NITRO+ capacitors that prioritize stable delivery over eye-catching figures. Translated: margin to sustain long loads without the voltage collapsing.

The cooling accompanies with armor on the VRMs, dedicated heatsinks for the M.2 slots and a “double layer” chipset that avoids peaks when the system is writing at full speed to the SSD or squeezing the RAM. The nod to memory enthusiasts is evident: support for profiles above 8,000 MT/s, always with the premise of reducing signal interference so that overclocking does not depend on luck.

New batch connectivity and storage

There are no half measures here: PCIe 5.0 in x16 slot for graphics and storage, with a M.2 trio that combines 5.0 and 4.0 sockets to mount SSDs up to 16 GB/s without sacrificing capacity. The rest is what you expect in a well-equipped board: integrated HDMI and DisplayPort to pull the iGPU when needed, a USB-C 10G useful for modern box fronts, several USB 3.2 and audio with six interfaces that does not force you to pull an external DAC if you don’t want to. In the network, the WiFi 7 and Bluetooth combo closes the circle: lower latencies and more robust links, especially if you work with tri-band routers and many devices competing for bandwidth.

ATX or mATX: same philosophy, two PC ideas

The B850A WIFI7, in ATX, is designed for cases with good flow and large graphics cards; It leaves room for an ambitious build with multiple NVMe drives and easy expansion. The B850M WIFI7 is committed to compact format without giving up the NITRO+ essence: the same reading of stability and performance, but in a more contained chassis, perfect for a powerful desktop computer that does not take up half a piece of furniture.

A catalog that grows and marks intention

Movement does not come alone: ​​Sapphire complements with PULSE B850M WIFI, PULSE A620AM, B650M-E and A520M-E to cover price steps, while in China the PURE B850A/M blank even without global confirmation. The signal is clear: SAPPHIRE wants to be a real alternative in motherboards, with a proposal that does not look for tricks, but rather a modern, fast and, above all, stable AM5 platform.
