Maybe a 9980kx of something.

Them not existing might be a good guess. I think they plan on keeping the following scheme:
X570 = cutting-edge, PCIe 4, up to 16 cores easily
X470 = good enough, may get some form of PCIe 4, all gens compatibility, up to 16 cores as well
B450 = budget friendly, PCIe 3, all gens compatibility, maybe up to 12 cores depending on quality?
So, looking at this, I would guess they may be ditching the A series for this generation and simply focusing on these three tiers of MBs.

It really grinds my gears when m/b manufacturers use vrms as an excuse going to the extreme that as far the vrms are not up to snuff to deliver power and not die in few months on the 12 core one they just do not release bios for the whole lineup.....there are 95 and 65 and 105 watt cpus that work on b350 and x370 mb ... If the tdp of an overclocked 3900 is too much fine put huge warnings about and support the rest of the lineup ...or the vrms are not up to snuff to feed the 65watt tdp 3600 but they do just fine on the 65 watt 1600 s?also support the 2700x that is 105 tdp.... If the tdp is not up to snuff indeed then they are selling mb's with sub par vrms already no? My next mb will be from the ventor that will support the most 3xxx cpus on the most motherboards pre-released of em....

makes sense to release the smaller cpus first, as it allows binning and you can start stocking the bigger ones without worrying about yield affecting availability.

I love the circles in squares.
Boss, I would really love to see performance difference on Ryzen 3000 series between different chipsets.
Would be really awesome to see X470 vs X570 numbers in initial Ryzen 3000 reviews.
I just can't justify the cost of X570 for my mere needs.
Thank you!
well i would like to see a comparison of b350 x370 b450 ad x470 against x570 to be honest, because from b350 to x470 there wasnt any difference with ram at 3200 cl 14 on my ryzen 2700x
