That's a good sign. Let's go
Here's my guess, AMD didn't show anything in GDC because:

Please be Aware! AGESA 0070 for ASUS broke PBO on X470 MB's, same with the beta bios for some MSI boards too, after contacting ASUS they work on solution and released new BIOS with AGESA 0072 version 4602 few days ago (I shared it on thread) and now PBO works, it will be up in the next few days on the official support page.

So check before updating if the new Bios is bug free .

It will be like a rumble of rolling thunder!

Hoping for 8 cores at 4.8Ghz as rumors have been saying for some time..

While that 12 core up to 5GHz is Amazing value for money, there is yet the 16 core capable of 5.1GHz..........
I don't Neeed it as I am still loving my 2700X, but.....
EDIT:
Hoping they will fit right into my MSI X470 Gaming Pro Carbon AC which has excellent power phase setup.

Hang on, I didn't even think of that. So used to buying completely new hardware in the past.
Does that mean that, if my manufacturer releases the corresponding AGESA update for my AX370 mainboard, I can put a shiny, new Ryzen 3000 series on it and be a happy guy?

Think i'll hold off till zen3+ since that will be on AM4 as well.

IMO at stock settings there will be no problem for current boards, the problem will start with PBO and OCing for simple VRM boards.

ROG CROSSHAIR VI HERO already up-to-dated. https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/ROG-CROSSHAIR-VI-HERO/HelpDesk_Download/
This, as it was with Ryzen 2xxx and x3xx series MBs... If you do not overclock and the TDP does not exceeds 95W for x3xx series and 105W for x4xx there should be no issues at all. Decebt x3xx and x4xx MBs should support 115W without problems

For ASUS- wait for AGESA 0072 Bios, since the current AGESA 0070 update disables PBO,

No biggie but I can't find any web pages on the ASUS web site for the first 4 entries...

It's worth pointing out that Biostar also already has this update available, oddly enough. I haven't yet upgraded to it, mostly because I don't yet have any intention on getting the 3000 series CPUs and Biostar's updates seem to have a tendency to cripple my overclocks.
In addition to what Humanoid_1 said, it's worth pointing out that if you buy an old board with a 300 series chipset, there is very slim chance it will boot properly on these new CPUs without the BIOS update. So, unless you already have some old Ryzen lying around and intend to upgrade, you're better off either buying a 300 series board known to be ready for the Ryzen 3000 series out-of-the-box, or, just buy the newest chipset.
Also, I'm sure there will be some tweaks here and there related to XFR or power-related benefits that you won't get from a 300 series chipset, if you care about such things. At least for overlockers, this is pretty much a non-issue.

Disappointed the new AMD chips wont be supported by the B350m Motherboards , AMD said it would be supported, they should of either been clear that the budget boards wont work or get the motherboard manufacturers to ensure its supported. Otherwise dont make that claim of support till 2020

@GamerNerves
I agree. It's worth pointing out that if the rumors of the 3000 series are true, these new chips are all running nearly 1GHz higher than previous generations with higher core counts and yet their TDPs aren't really any higher. I'm sure most X370 or X470 boards with 8-pin EPS connectors have VRMs sufficient to handle the new CPUs. I'd bet that people will probably suffer stability issues due to thermals before power delivery becomes a problem, when it comes to the 8+ core models. If you intend to OC enough to warrant liquid cooling, you're probably better off with a 400 or 500 series chipset.

I have a very positive vibe about this new cpus 😀 , get ready it has begun ...
