Perhaps the bigger chips are being released first. I am sure their partners would like to sell x570 boards for the high end chips, something I would generally recommend.
If I recall correctly, the other Ryzen's the had the higher end chips first.
Yes that's most likely it (though confusingly, that makes me wonder why the 16-core chips aren't being released first too) but for each generation, AMD announced all chipsets, including ones that we pretty much never saw, like the A300. They're usually pretty good at mentioning what will eventually exist, even if they don't specify the product name. So that's what's throwing me off - they haven't said anything at all about chipsets lesser than X570. Kinda leads me to believe they might not exist.

16-core is most likely waiting to respond to what Intel will release.

So... it won't be released?
