I'm sort of disliking AMD's naming schemes on the CPU parts, I'm not sure what they're reasoning is. Is it to have same sort of name as Intel to make it easier to spot the same range AMD part from their stack(like the ryzen 3-7 for intels i3-i7 and now x399 to x299) or is it just to create confusion in new buyers like x399 is a bigger number than x299 so it's better(wether or not its true or not). I would of rather liked AMD to use/think of their own naming scheme.
Edit: this isn't any fanboy stuff towards Intel. If I would need a new system right now I would definitely be buying Ryzen 7 1700

I'm just waiting for their mini-ITX variant...

A mini ITX board with a TR4 socket would just be.... The socket and power connector on a board with no room for anything else 🤓 :P

8+4pin cpu design by looks of it? 8pin is in an odd place, got worried for a second when i only saw the 4pin above the CPU. Hopefully these boards are better tested than their X299 counterparts from intel, they look very similar with the VRM heat sinks which might be a worry
Has there ever been a bigger CPU socket btw? i cannot think of anything of the top of my head, the damn thing is massive XD

Micro ATX is the smallest form factor we could reasonably expect.

Don't forget that TR4 socket is nearly twice the size of S2066.... I highly doubt even ASrock is going to try and fit that on a mITX. :banana:

What a massive socket! I have to admit, ASRock (building around it) made some great looking motherboards.
