I think that's just what the boards have to support. After all, most A320 boards seem to support Zen 2 chips just fine, and pretty much all B350 and X370 do, despite the slide saying they don't.

In other words, you're probably fine with a B450/X470. First Gen boards have pretty small ROMs which might run into problems to fit the firmware for the new chips (which already created some problems with Zen 2 chips on cheaper models), but the second gen is probably fine. It might just take a while until the boards get an update with Zen 4000 support.

Pretty bummed at this at this but not surprised. Looking more like I'm going to have to get a B550 board+new CPU.

Hoping Gigabyte will update my board though so I can put more money towards GPU and other nice things :P

Same here. Was figuring Ryzen 4000 desktop would be the final model that would still work with my B450. We'll see what happens with pricing of the 3000 series, but I'm leaning towards holding out and going with a new mobo and APU or CPU+GPU now. Probably not until the 5000 series though.
