Intel Comet Lake-S CPUs and Z490 boards support PCI-E 4.0 (but it's not active)

All bs to me, I need a built-in Thunderbolt 3 port on the motherboard, not the current add-in card thing. Come on Intel and AMD!!!

Also, I love this thread https://forums.guru3d.com/threads/nvidia-jen-hsun-huang-is-uncle-of-amd’s-ceo-lisa-su.422662/

The new platform should have been PCIe 4.0 and it should have been coupled to a 10 core CPU, before that turned out to be unpractical because of high power usage.
Will the new platform even be different then the current platform after these changes?

This error will cost Intel millions of $ in lost revenue from sales, together with wasted money on development.
Big OEMs like Dell, Lenovo, HP and more, will also feel that there PCIe 4.0 design money was wasted and they would need to continue to pay a small extra cost (1$ guess) on every single motherboard made to comply with 4.0, instead of the more simple and cheaper 3.0.
There will also be setups that would no longer be possible now with the slower bus speed, like some SSDs, multiple GPUs and Raid controllers for small workstation use.

Sorry, i am just frustrated about the possibility of needing a new socket to mount a rebranded 10900KF, that is a 9900KF glued onto a socket adapter to fit the new socket, that is a rebranded and binned 9900k.
All that without the hardware mitigations, because the new chips are not ready yet.
