On a more positive note, 2700x benches leaked! https://videocardz.com/75305/amd-ryzen-7-2700x-2700-and-ryzen-5-2600x-2600-benchmarks-leak-out

It does not seem to me that a replacement processor or motherboard is needed if you already have the 1st gen equipment????
$$$$$$$$$Man, I wish I could just pop an 8700k into my x58what was Intel thinking..
Correct, AMD said when launching first gen Ryzen that any motherboard for 1st gen Ryzen will support 2nd gen Ryzen and 3rd gen (7nm) as well I believe. If I remember correctly, they said that the first gen boards would be supported until at least 2020 which should take you through 4th gen Ryzen (7nm refresh presumably).
They used to a few generations back... maybe last was z68/z77 for sandybridge.Oh gee, I just choked on my tea.
But Intel doesn't build mobos?
More goodies slipped out yesterday http://www.guru3d.com/news-story/am...reviews-was-shortly-posted-at-sisoftware.html
Seems like a decent bump up from the first gen Ryzen. But it makes no sense comparing the new AMD Ryzen 6C/12T and 8/16T offerings to the two generations old Intel Skylake 4C/8T i7-6700K. The competition is the current Intel Coffee Lake 6C/12T i7-8700K.
Well, then. I thought I heard they made decent boards. Server boards, maybe? I can't recall where I heard it or which board(s) specifically. Wouldn't be the first time my memory screwed me over. LOL
