The short version
The B650 Eagle AX is Gigabyte's budget ATX board for AM5. It has one PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot, two PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots, a PCIe 4.0 x16 slot, Wi-Fi 6E with Bluetooth 5.3 and a Realtek 1GbE LAN. The 1GbE port and PCIe 4.0 GPU slot are the main compromises, so it suits cost-focused Ryzen 7000 and 9000 builds.

Common questions
Does the B650 Eagle AX have PCIe 5.0?
Only on one M.2 slot (M2A_CPU) with Ryzen 7000 and 9000. The graphics slot is PCIe 4.0.
What LAN speed does it have?
It has a single Realtek 1GbE port rather than the 2.5GbE port found on many newer boards, so heavy LAN users may prefer another model.
