They're announcing the new X570 platform so that their partners can show off motherboards at the show.
Hopefully there'll be some highend versions with passive chipset cooling, otherwise they really need to step up the process.

X570 is going to be cooled with a fan.
I am still rocking my X370 chipset.
Icelake iGPUs specifically, and it's some kind of official slide
Thats just a by product of having to use twice the energy as the other boards. Passive cooling ones will probably on the low end with higher end ones that can push the energy to OC harder will be active cooled.
VRS in Intel iGPU bodes well for Navi/consoles adopting it too. And consoles having it will in turn drive PC game adoption, which will be great for small form factor tablets/hybrids etc.
Yes I'm quite excited for more mainstream adoption. At 1440p I can't noice a difference enabling or disabling it in Wolfenstein 2 on 2080 so I'll take the extra performance any time it's offered to me, even if it just means my Gpu is working less hard because I'm already performing above my framerate target.
Wondering if my B350 mobo will be compatible with Ryzen 3. I just got an R5 2600, and if this is notably better in games might be worth an upgrade. But I think GPU is still first on my list—my 1060 6GB does fine in most games but I wouldn't hate having a 2060 or 2070.
I would also upgrade the GPU before your CPU. In terms of compatibility, I think it should be (after a bios update), though I haven't looked up any info about it.
Yea that has been the plan. I'm sure when they do an official reveal/paper launch we'll get answers to that question.
For video editing, what should I focus on? I know good multi-core CPU for rendering speed and lots of RAM for previewing/editing. I'm only going for 1080p at most. Will 16GB of RAM be good enough? Or should I look into an X570 hoping it'll support even faster and better RAM down the line?
Even worse, Ice Lake is 10nm (equivalent to 7nm of TSMC) while 3700U is only 12nm+.
They'd actually have to come with CPUs for me to be hyped. I'm expecting disappointment with just the mobo softlaunches.
The GPU performance gulf was huuge on more equivalent nodes, so even if it took the 10nm node to achieve this on the iGPU, it's still an improvement for Intel in that space. Once AMD 7nm APUs hit I expect that they'll have somethiung like a 1.3-1.5x lead, instead of 2x on previous gens.
Check you manufacturer's support section. I'm running an Asus B350 Prime Plus and it already got a bios update for Ryzen 3XXX CPUs.
But yeah, with 2600 you most probably aren't going to be exactly CPU limited anytime soon. So upgrade your GPU first, maybe see what's coming from AMD's side of the aisle in July and then decide.
When it comes to older boards, be careful on 12/16 cores. I think only MSI and Asrock boards are decent enough for it.

Sorry, can't watch right now. But what does he say overall for B350's? I was thinking of slapping a 3700x on my B350-F
You can run it at stock. Overclocking is not recommended unless you install a fan to blow over the VRM.
If B350 mobo supports up to 105W [almost all do], then all 105W Ryzen 3000 CPUs will work fine at stock clocks. Everything that AMD has announced so far is 105W or less.
Don't attempt overclocking.
Ahh right, thanks!
So is it not recommended to even lock your CPU to the all core turbo? So for the 3700x, it'd be 4.4ghz I believe.
