Maybe they are also counting the Wifi M.2 slot in that number - it doesn't list that they are all x4 lane slots...
Not in this news article, no, but in their website it explicitly mentions the 1x 5.0 and 5x 4.0 M.2, with the WiFi slot on its own.

They're physically x16. Electrically, though...

Strange, rumours that core ultra 200 support all DDR5 speeds up to 6400 native...and then in this motherboard specs saw that native support is up to DDR5 5600?!?

Keep in mind that it's the PR/marketing and web teams prepping the product pages. Loads of errors across all the brands. Gigabyte put PCIe 3.0 on loads of products, when the chipset is all PCIe 4.0.

I love seeing Biostar motherboard releases - it reminds of what things would be like at the bottom end of the PC market if ECS and PC-Chips still were about peddling their wares...
