Hey guys! I'm going building a new windows workstation for music production when I'm going to university next year. The challenge with this config is that all the music production gear like audio interfaces and high speed external drives use thunderbolt 3. Since I am building a workstation with gaming as a secondary use case, and AMD is doing so well right now I wanted to go with a flagship AMD cpu like the ryzen 3950x, but I couldn't find a single ATX AM-4 motherboard that has Thunderbolt 3 built-in. Because of that I am considering the i9-9900ks instead with a gigabyte designare motherboard because it has thunderbolt 3. 

Do you guys know of any AMD motherboards with thunderbolt 3, or do you think the motherboards that will be released with the new intel and AMD cpus next year will support thunderbolt 3?

Thanks.
