^^Going by previous intel history,No.As for availability(& assuming reasonable pricing),expect at least 1-2 months after US launch(so practically next year only for India).

Intel's 10th gen i5 cpus allegedly feature 6 cores and 12 threads - this sounds really good. But will these chips be backward compatible with existing 8th/9th gen motherboards?

Are they expected to launch them this year or the next?
Intel 10th Generation Core "Comet Lake" Lineup Detailed

Intel's short-term reaction to AMD's 3rd generation Ryzen processor family is the 10th generation Core "Comet Lake." These processors are based on existing "Skylake" cores, but have core-counts increased at the top-end, and HyperThreading enabled across the entire lineup. The Core i3 series are now 4-core/8-thread; the Core i5 series a 6-core/12-thread, the Core i7 series are 8-core/16-thread, and the new Core i9 series are 10-core/20-thread. Besides core-counts, Intel has given its 14 nanometer node one last step of refinement to come up with the new 14 nm+++ nodelet. This enables Intel to significantly dial up clock speeds across the board. These processors come in the new LGA1159 package, and are not backwards-compatible with LGA1151 motherboards. These chips also appear to feature an on-package PCH, instead of chipset on the motherboard.

Looking at the prices I feel good old days of finding good AMD MoBo/CPU combo at reasonable prices are over...

I was curious to know how close AMD is to Intel's single thread performance clock to clock. So checked Passmark benchmark, to my surprise AMD betters Intel clock to clock comparison.

I grouped CPUs based on core/thread count. Like 3600 and 3600x belongs to same group - 6 core 12 thread.
No dual core processors included (Athlon, Pentium, 6th and 7th i3)
Ryzen 2000 APU belongs to 1st Gen and 3000 APU belongs to 2nd Gen.

AMD is about 10% better than Intel (Ryzen 3000 vs Intel 9000) in both Single and Multi clock to clock.
Intel has higher clock speed for Single thread, AMD has higher clock speed for Multi thread.

Not many reviewers did any thermal benchmarks for Ryzen 3000 series yet because it auto overclocks.

Yeah that doesn't seem right. I guess it needs more BIOS updates. Also the reason why no reputed reviewers did thermal benches for it.

GamerNexus explains how it auto overclocks in respect to temps:

List of boards (B450 and X470) with 256 Mb BIOS chip.

B450 AORUS PRO (rev.1.0)----------- 2 x 128Mb
B450 AORUS PRO WIFI (rev.1.0)---- 2 x 128Mb
B450 AORUS M (rev.1.0)-------------- 2 x 128Mb
X470 Master SLI/ac --------------------256 Mb
X470 Taichi ----------------------------- 256 Mb
Fatal1ty X470 Gaming-ITX/ac ------- 256 Mb
Crosshair Hero VII --------------------- 256 Mb
TUF X470 PLUS GAMING ------------ 256 Mb
STRIX X470 F GAMING--------------- 256 Mb
PRIME X470 PRO---------------------- 256 Mb
STRIX X470I GAMING---------------- 256 Mb
AORUS GAMING 5 WIFI-------------- 2 x 128Mb
AORUS GAMING 7 WIFI-------------- 2 x 128Mb
AORUS ULTRA GAMING------------- 2 x 128Mb

PS: I am not sure if 2 x 128Mb is same as 256Mb chip.

Going by this page, MSI B450M Pro VDH does support PBO. But I don't see that option in BIOS.

Does this board have PBO?

Okay. Under applicable models they have some B450 and X470 boards too. And one of 'em is B450M Pro VDH. I don't know how I should understand that.

Because in Answer, they said A320/B350/X370 don't support PBO. In the applicable models list they have boards from all the chipsets including B450.

B450 Gaming Pro Carbon AC is in the list, but does have PBO in BIOS.

Do cheaper gigabyte motherboards,like the b450 ds3h,exhibit any compatibility issues with the ryzen 3600?

i've heard that the 3600 runs at higher volts and temps as compared to its 1st and 2nd gen counterparts-is it due to some flaw in the cpu itself or does it indicate some compatibility issues with the motherboard?

AMD's listed support for PBO : Amd
As far as I'm aware, Precision Boost Overdrive is available on 400 series AM4 boards for Ryzen 2000 series X SKU CPUs. This is distinct from PB2 which is available to all Ryzen 2000 series CPUs.

AMD's official support for PBO is for Threadripper processors only. Many motherboard manufacturers have enabled PBO for ryzen 2000x series processors as well but it's not officially supported by AMD

Don't take chances with Ryzen 3xxx & a 450/470 series mobo.MSI has recently launched "MAX" version of their B450 Mortar/Tomahawk with out of box Ryzen 3xxx compatibility & with a larger size bios chip(main issue for most 450/470 mobos having issues with ryzen 3xxx) so either wait for them to arrive in India or buy X570(current cheapest good one is asus tuf gaming X570 for 17k).
