AMD did an exceptional job of getting all of its ducks in a row. after all, what good is next gen perf. w/o next gen products? this is how you grow an ecosystem... a Ryzen 3000 customer can now have pcie 4.0 storage and gpus (Navi) at the time of buying the cpu/mobo.

I wanna get an X570 board now. Eventhough I will be using 2x RX 480s, I feel it would be a good upgrade path for yhe future. Though I will get a 3500x first and use it with my x370 for now.

I wonder if there will be an option for HEDT? It would be odd for consumer boards to get PCIe 4.0 while HEDT is stuck with 3.0.[/QUOT now's the time to blow Intel out of the HEDT market for five years and it seems AMD agrees. without getting spanked i can say there will be a new threadripper chipset with full pcie 4.0 this was one of the reasons Corsair (and Gigabyte et al...) why there are storage solutions as part of the announce...industry knows HEDT is guaranteed margin and early adoption, dollars to donuts this was the proverbial cherry on top to induce partnership. Lisa Su has been putting out the fires from worried threadripper owners (me incl.) re: longevity of the platform all day today - on a holiday.

AMD just made high-end mainstream HEDT. R9 12c/24t, 78mb cache, beats $1100 i9 9920x for $499. Unless you need quad channel memory and a large number of extra PCIe lanes, the lines between desktop and HEDT just blurred.
