AMD motherboard that supports Thunderbolt

Important to notice that just as with Intel mobos, there are two types of TB3 implementation on mobos:
One is with TB3 port(s) on the motherboard's i/o backplate and the other is with a TB3 header on the mobo. The last one needs an additional AIC TB3 pci-e card to provide functional TB3 connections. All mobo brands have such a card and they go for about 60-100$ depending on the brand.
So first i will list the X570 boards with onboard TB3 or TB3 header:
ASRock Aqua (2 Type-C thunderbolt ports on the rear I/O panel)
ASRock Creator
ASRock Phantom Gaming ITX/TB3
ASRock TaiChi (with TB3 header, needs additional TB3 card)
ASRock Extreme 4 and Extreme 4 WiFi (with TB3 header, needs additional TB3 card)
ASRock Steel Legend and Steel Legend WiFi (with TB3 header, needs additional TB3 card)
ASRock Phantom Gaming X (with TB3 header, needs additional TB3 card)
(All ASRock mobos with TB3 header need the Thunderbolt 3 AIC R2.0 to provide TB3 connectivity:
https://www.asrock.com/mb/spec/product.asp?Model=Thunderbolt 3 AIC R2.0 )

Gigabyte Aorus Extreme (with TB3 header, needs additional TB3 card)
Gigabyte Aorus Master (with TB3 header, needs additional TB3 card)
Gigabyte Aorus Ultra (with TB3 header, needs additional TB3 card)
Gigabyte Aorus Pro and Aorus Pro WiFi (with TB3 header, needs additional TB3 card)

Oddly enough, Asus and MSI don't have any X570 boards with Thunderbolt 3.

 

New B550 Motherboards:

Gigabyte Vision D (Rev 1.0) (2 Type-C thunderbolt ports on the rear I/O panel)

For the new AMD Threadripper 3 on the TRX40 chipset there are only two boards atm. The Gigabyte TRX40 Aorus Extreme and the Gigabyte TRX40 Designare. Although officially they don't mention Thunderbolt anywhere (because those boards were built and released before Intel "sanctioned" TB3 for AMD), they do have a TB3 header and the Designare also comes with the additional Titan Ridge GC card needed to provide Thunderbolt 3 connectivity.

 

Other than the motherboard that I have mentioned if there is any new motherboards that are compatible with thunderbolt technology, please let me know. I will keep this thread updated

You have to note only the newer revisions of the Gigabyte boards have the TB3 header.  The 1.0's don't have them.

QUOTE ME IN A REPLY SO I CAN SEE THE NOTIFICATION!

When there is no danger of failure there is no pleasure in success.

I think it depends on the Thunderbolt PCIE Add-on card you are using.

Also watch this video where linus has explained about it  :
