Our local Micro Center "brick and mortar" store has a good selection of AMD X370 gaming motherboards in stock today. ASUS, Gigabyte, ASRock highest end boards and a couple second highest. They've had loads of 350 gaming boards for a while now (some very inexpensive -- to my taste).

I assume this means the supply of Ryzen motherboards is beginning to become more generally available. Still seem to have initial February BIOSs installed. Newer BIOSs are in "beta form". Buyers must plan to update the BIOS.

Meantime, no significant new news regarding Ryzen CPUs. Ryzen release/results are progressing as previously reported/rumored. Ryzen seems to be "the real deal" -- mine works as advertised on standard settings (I still have to install better cooler to experiment with overclock).

AMD RX500 GPUs are close to release -- but they are only slightly improved RX400 series "rebadged" products.

Vega GPU rumors have added nothing significant lately. Now we await the actual release in late May/June. Likely there will be some pre-release test reports prior to that. Now that Navi GPUs are delayed until 2019, I'm considering Vega more seriously for my own purchase (I'll get at least 2 years out of it). Thing is, my current RX480 "does it all" at 1440p.
