AMD’s 3rd Generation Ryzen Threadripper processors are headed for launch in November. The new HEDT lineup would feature the brand new Zen 2 core architecture and tons of mega-tasking performance but along with all the added features, the processors might also require a new TR socket revision which if rumors hold true, might end their backward compatibility on the existing X399 products.
The details come from the author of the DRAM Calculator for AMD Ryzen processors, Yuri Bubily or more famously known as 1usmus. He mentions on his post over at Overclock.net that AMD in their latest plans have removed X399 compatibility for next-generation Ryzen Threadripper processors. This clearly points towards the upcoming AMD 3rd Gen Ryzen Threadripper series which is going to make its debut with a 24 core and 48 thread chip in November. Following is the complete quote:
