570 is not compatible with 1st gen ryzen?
I was expecting to be able to put my old 1600x in a cheap 570 board as a cheap home server upgrade

What exactly is the upgrade there? You wouldn't have PCIe4 on a non-3000 CPU, and cheap boards also don't come with any fancy features like Wifi 6 or 2.5G/5G ethernet.

I'm still confused why AMD hasn't mentioned anything about B550. I'm very confident that would have been their most appealing chipset: something that takes advantage of PCIe 4.0 but has a passive cooler, is more suitable for smaller form-factors, and is more affordable. It'd be a little weird if they put it off until the 16-core chip is released, since I don't think most people who would buy one of those will want a B550.
