Hopefully we'll also hear about more ITX boards. #Hype
We'll certainly get more info on the ITX boards. Asrock's board is arriving some time in June and Gigabyte will have their's out by late June as well.
I'm personally looking forward to the Asrock board, but it would be nice as well during computex to get some updated mITX heatsinks that work with AM4 and even some new heatsinks.

4094 pins are going to be a tight fit on the ATX format though
I'm also looking forward to this. I'm hoping for an HEDT announcement. I have a need for as many threads as possible. I have an x99 system, but if I can get more threads reasonably, I'll take a peek. Still taking a "wait and see" approach given it's a new platform. Productivity First and Gaming Third.
I'm hoping AMD follows up with a GPU solution that can power 4K@60 with a single card! Then I'll be like a pig in crap with AMD.
When Kavari came out the base was 3.7, months later 7890 with a 4.1 and turbo was 4.3.
Over the next year Ryzen will have some very fast nice OC'ing cpu's
This is totally not because Ryzen.

Bring on the core wars 
Maybe software will get coded for it.

Look at this beast of a socket!
This is what i have been waiting for from AMD, to have as a workstation and replace the aging x79 I've got.
Also, R7 1700 in a laptop

Ah, so that is what the teaser image was about.
17" .... completely useless to me. But hey, 16 threads in a backpack isn't bad.
Ryzen / Vega chips could be interesting. Im not a laptop user but boy that could stir up the market.

You missed your chance

Now THAT is the board to get
The socket & bracket solution they made for that board is just f*ckin beautiful!
Steel reinforced bracket front and back, Spring loaded hinge, Torx screws.
Very well engineered.
Looks to be same for the AMD Epyc server platform.

X399 hey, I doubt Intel is happy with that name choice by AMD...
Yeah the thread ripper and naples should basically share the same lga socket.
I also noticed on the zenith that there is a slot for a m.2 daughter board
This is just pornography [NSFW]

But it clearly also shows that the Epyc CPU's are split into 4 Core Units at the board level apparently either for socket manufacturing or architectural reasons.
Just an interesting observation.
more pics from wccftech.
I wouldn't be surprised at all if the board cost at least $600.
I really want to know what one of these M.2 DIMM.2 Riser cards looks like now.
Seems like a pretty wide PCI-e bus available on there.
EDIT: Found One, It's a double sided M.2 Riser which is pretty neat
