I'm not thinking they are. Simply confirming that they are not.

While AMD CPUs do not support TB3 directly, a few higher-end X570 mobos support TB3 at the chipset level. Please, do more research to avoid spreading misinformation in the future. Thanks.
I've also seen at least two B550 boards that provide TB3 as well. Here's one: https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherbo...-rev-10#kf

There are multiple from Asrock and Asus even preparing one with Thunderbolt 4. But those implementations are not coming from AMD CPU or chipset but Third party TB controller, custom DMA protection and then the Mobo manufacturers getting their own certification from USB consortium. Read my previous post.

How will this do as a Plex server? Overkill?
Yes, it is. Go to Newegg and check the Gigabyte Birx with Ryzen 7 4800U barebone at around $554. That will still be a bit overkill but the price is good.

Agree that this thing is overkill, but if you'll use it for other stuff it is a great option. I have a base M1 Mac Mini that serves as a plex server and also replaced my desktop. I absolutely love it and it silently runs Plex including media from a network drive, plus all of my live DVR OTA stuff - it's great and completely transparent to my other use and entirely silent.

that would be an awesome developer workstation. supports four 4k monitors. Wish there were a 64gb memory option.
I think you overlooked or misread something. 2x 32GB is supported.

This thing looks pretty cool, does anybody have any experience with this company's products and/or support?

This thing is leaving lots of performance on the table by only supporting 3200mhz ram. Zen 3 and it's fclk/Infinity Fabric matches up best with ddr3600, and possibly even 3800
