So then, the article seems to provide conflicting information.

"Although the B550 chipset is built for Ryzen 3000-series CPUs,
it won't be fully PCIe 4.0 enabled. The chipset will support four lanes of PCIe 4.0 off the CPU for the primary M.2 NVMe slot, but both the 16-lane GPU connection and four-lane chipset GMI link will support only PCIe 3.0 (as was the case with X470/B450). Furthermore, B550 will also apparently offer fewer USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports (2 vs 8 on X570), and fewer SATA 3.0 ports."

"In short, you get PCIe 4.0 support through the CPU, delivering enough lanes for fast NVMe storage and the GPU."
Nobody seems to agree on the specifics but there seems to be some degree of PCIe 4.0 support, at least for storage.
