Well, they effectively changed the socket this generation as AFAICT you can't use new CPUs on any of the current x470 mobos.

Actually, with a BIOS update, the new Zen 2 CPU's are indeed compatible with most x470, b450, and even 300 series motherboards.

Looks like I was for some reason confusing pcie 4 compatibility (which will not be supported even on top end mobos) with cpu compatibility. Can't edit the post though.

You can put new Zen 2 cpus into old 370/470 boards, except the weakest ones. Maybe they will change socket for Zen 3.
