I'm curious as to why we haven't seen any like super high end motherboards announced for it yet. It's AMD's competitor for the high end chips against intel yet motherboards for them have all been underwhelming. ASUS only has one announced with no pictures of it, but has like 6 announced for Intel's Kaby lake all premium high quality looking with bells and whistles galore.
