The asrock b360 pro 4 is a full-size ATX mobo. The asrock b360m pro 4 is mATX (microATX).

phyiscal size is different,

matx is roughly 9 in by 9 in and atx is 9 in by 12 in.

matx is usually cheaper, and offers less available pci-e slot and other internal connectors

atx has more physical pci-e slots, the 16x pci-e slot are more spread out, in case you have a dual or tri slot graphic cards, sometimes, the pcie slots are not accessible.

in terms of cpu/mem support as well as cpu overclockability, matx and atx of the same line up is usually identical.

Usually, the "m" version will also only have 2 slots for DDR memory. The other will have 4 slots.

Ok, usually that's the first thing they change but in this case it isn't.

A quick glance between the two is the amount of pci-e slots and the amount of USB ports.
