Any word on available for North America? I've been refreshing Newegg since Computex started (though I'd really like to buy from another vendor if possible).

I emailed ASRock to ask about expected retail availability in a few regions - haven't even gotten a reply.

The X600 is available in Europe, I got one.
Are the new 9600X and 9700X going to work in the X600?
And if so are they a good choice compared to the 1600 and 7700, no gaming?
No word on 9000 compatibility yet from ASRock, I wouldn't hold my breath for news.

i would assume that the 65W ryzen 9000 parts will work with the current AGESA 1.2.0.0 bios.
Interestingly they're not listed in the CPU Support list, but you're totally right in that AGESA 1.2.0.0 (new as of 12th of July) should theoretically enable 65W 9000 series chips.
Though the only notes on that update are

1. Update AMD AGESA 1200.
2. Enhance system compatibility.

Why shouldn't we believe them? Even CPUs that officially aren't supported like the 7800X3D work without any issues
I totally agree with you, APU/CPU with TDP higher than 65W can perfectly work in "ECO-Mode 65W" and even beyond by activating the PBO, the whole thing being to remain reasonable, personally I avoid exceeding the 170~180W of PPT consumption because we only have 6 VRM phases of 50A on the X600M-STX motherboard of which only 4 of them are really dedicated to the CCD load so in order to avoid having them burnt/overheated and even at this level of consumption, I recommend using something other than the original chassis (which is unfortunately not very ventilated) like an AKASA Cypher ST for example which allows the installation of a 50mm side fan (and up to 38mm deep without disturbing other components) and small bonus there is a "RESET" button compatible with the header of the X600 mobo.

For my part I was lucky enough to be able to get a 3D printed "Lander 55" case (designated by "msystems") via J-HACK at the time when they were selling them, and I had chosen the option to install a 120mm fan fully open on the hood above the mobo so all the components are extremely well ventilated with a Silverstone Air Slimmer 120 ARGB fan (64cfm max and up to 2.4mmH2O static pressure) so I'm pretty relaxed😅 in terms of heating.
