Have MSI sorted the VRM issues out on their boards?

Secondly great slew from all manufacturers of new boards but the new intel chips are the same as the last gen just elongated with support for better gbe ethernet and better wifi.
PCI-gen 4 will be present on some boards but Comet lake doesn't support it. Must have been confiusing for board manufacturers on what to actually do here.
Think most will skip this gen and wait for Ice lake which should be on a smaller node and support stuff like pci gen 4 properly.

or will the new gen be tiger lake?!?! too many lakes - hope they ditch the lake codes to something else once the node size gets sorted to 10 or 7nm.
