The ASRock Z890 Taichi is the objective winner of this comparison, securing a lead in eight of the fourteen evaluated specifications. Its most significant advantage over the competition is the USB Type-C connectivity, which offers a 200% improvement in capacity. While the MSI PRO B860M-A WIFI holds its own in specific areas, the ASRock Z890 Taichi provides a more robust overall feature set for users prioritizing modern peripheral connectivity and high-end motherboard specifications.

Users who require extensive USB Type-C support should choose the ASRock Z890 Taichi for its superior interface capacity. Conversely, the MSI PRO B860M-A WIFI is the better selection for those who specifically need additional PCIe x1 slots, as it provides a 100% advantage in that category. Selecting between these two components depends entirely on whether your build configuration prioritizes high-speed peripheral connectivity or the specific expansion capabilities offered by the MSI motherboard.
