This is a first feedback made by some users with copies of the new Ryzen 7000 and compatible motherboards: the first boot will seem long. Even abnormally long (sometimes up to 6 minutes!) but this is normal. This information is confirmed by a picture of a sticker on the ASRock X670E Steel Legend motherboard PCB warning of long delays at first boot.
