ASUS Pro WS B850M-ACE SE launches with Ryzen 9000 and EPYC 4005 support
ASUS has released its new Pro WS B850M-ACE SE micro-ATX workstation motherboard, now listed in China at 4,499 RMB and already available in the US at around 359 USD. The board targets “advanced AI PCs” and supports both consumer AMD Ryzen 9000/8000/7000 processors and AMD EPYC Embedded 4005 series CPUs on the AM5 socket.
The Pro WS B850M-ACE SE follows the familiar Pro WS design with a rotated layout. The CPU socket is mounted horizontally, while the four DDR5 UDIMM slots and 8+4-pin EPS power connectors sit along the airflow path of the graphics card. ASUS uses an 8+2+1 phase power design, an 8-layer PCB and ProCool II power connectors, and adds aluminum alloy chokes and capacitors for workstation use.
