If AMD gives motherboard developers ample time, they'll release reasonably solid motherboards.
ie: Gigabyte, Asus, and ASRock all have rock-solid socket 1151 and socket 2011-3 releases.
The Ryzen release was probably (motherboard wise) the most flaky launch I've seen in ~30 years.
BTW, I hope Threadripper lives up to the hype.
Competition will bring out the best in both AMD and Intel.
As a by-product, we all benefit (greater speed/capability... and lower cost).
