I imagine we'll even find that many B550 boards will have better VRM's than the lowest tier X570 boards.
Haven't a handful of B450 boards already accomplished that? Maybe not necessarily in terms of VRM components themselves, but in terms of heatsinks, I would say a fair amount of the mid to high-end B450 boards outclass the lower-end X570 boards and their art block heatsinks.
