That says it all really when it comes to price - just look at the stupid prices Intel is looking for for all the ones below it... monopoly and rip off for far too long.

mainly hope there will be board with 6* or 7* PCI_E slots and at least 10* SATA ports
This. The massive number of PCIE lanes compared to Intels crap crippleware system is a massive advantage and the main reason I will be looking at these as my next CPU/chipset over any Intel based system.
I guarantee Intel will come out eventually with consumer CPU/chipset which has decent amount of lanes just to compete with this, but in this case I would say to Intel, you can go fuck yourself now, you have been screwing us intentionally over this for years, crippling cheaper CPUs and only have the maximum lanes on your most expensive CPUs, and now you expect me to come crawling back when your business strategy bluff has been called? Fuck off.
It may not look like much to people now, but when the board manufacturers start really getting their teeth into this and seeing what they can actually do now with high-end motherboards with all those lanes, we will really see the difference between an Intel crippleware 28-lane limited board and an AMD 64-lane enabled board. Wait till you see.
And yes I am talking about more than mere gaming systems here.

Maybe you live on a different planet than I but you could always get a 5820k a couple years back for the same price as the 4790k or w/e and it had 28 lanes which is more than enough for 99% of gamers.
A 28lane for 340~ USD in 2015 is more than fair.
5930k for 500 with 40 lanes wasn't a bad deal either.
But here you are complaining about expensive Intel CPUs when you are looking to buy a 1K USD + CPU.
Regardless, 64 lanes and even 40 lanes is pretty much useless for consumers.

In some ways, that's true. Just like Ryzen 7 was their first Zen CPU, Ryzen Threadripper is their first HEDT CPU. In both cases, there was little data to go on so mobo manufacturers may have decided to err on the side of caution. Also, HEDT is a pretty niche market overall so overstocking wouldn't be wise - only a few people will pony up the money for these chips. Then again, we've never had a HEDT chip that was as cheap as the 1920X (they're usually $1K and over).
I just find it annoying to have to wait to build a system. I got my Ryzen 7 CPU almost immediately after launch, but it was sitting under my desk for weeks as I waited for the motherboard. After a month of waiting, I was so desperate that I swapped out my original purchase (MSI) for another board that happened to be in stock, which is how I ended up with my ASRock board. My 1950X just arrived today (weekend deliveries are always nice), and I hope I won't have to repeat my prior experience. Here's hoping.
I'm in the same boat as you. Got my Threadripper last night, local shop only had 1. Now I just need the board. For now i'll just use my I7-5960x setup. Can't wait to sell that CPU. Always regretted buying it. AMD Fanboy I am. Just need to order a EKWB waterblock for it to hook to my Predator 360.
