We will - Supermicro already has product pages for them.
What I really don't understand is why so many of these boards use PCIe x8 slots. These CPUs have more PCIe lanes than anyone could possibly saturate on a single PC, and yet they're using x8 slots as though there's not enough for more.

2 reasons:
-M2 use PCIe lane
-99% of the pro PCIe card are only wired in x8
