X299 board exclusively for 7640/7740?

Since Intel did such a horrible job on the socket 2066 product line, I thought maybe someone would have gotten the idea to put out an X299 board that is just for the KabyLake-X chips, that just has access to the 16 PCIe lanes and dual channel memory instead of engineering around all the extras the other chips have, so they could bring the engineering costs down and maybe make the board cheaper than most X299 boards. Has anyone seen one yet?

No, and I seriously doubt you will...!

It's always best to do some research before making definitive statements like that.

Cool. Too bad it's Gigabyte. After my experiences with the last three boards I had from them. I've sworn off buying anything new from them. At least it should inspire some other manufacturers to do the same.
