Gigabyte Rev 1 vs Rev 2

I'm thinking of plunging into the world of Ryzen.

Does anyone know how long it usually takes Gigabyte to release their Rev 2 boards?

My current X58A-UD3R rev 2 board has been superb. More than 40,000 hours of use and still going strong.

just upgrade your 1366 CPU to xeon 6 core and that'll do for a few more years. Recently got a x5670

But does anyone know how long it usually takes gigabyte to release its Rev 2s?

They don't always, only if a certain chip is changed or found a way to do it better /manufacture

Thanks. I'll wait a couple of months then buy then.
