You can leave it up to Videocardz to dig up the nitty-gritty, Veni Vidi Vici, Meet the Threadripper PRO lineup. it seems that AMD is expanding the default threadripper line towards a PRO series, in a ... AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO lineup Leaks in Full
Bad Ass.... I won't be needing an upgrade for some time, but I might get my hands on Gigabytes finer offerings for this Pro lineup. Always seems to be the main factor in building late into a life cycle of a particular set of hardware. The motherboard of your choice (especially higher end) have all been bought up. Only to be placed on sale for a disturbing mark up altogether. I like to buy even if it is for a "just in case" kind of time. Served me well on my Aorus Xtreme tRX40 board purchase at the time.
I' using Asrock x399 pro now with 10GB lan. Biossupport has been pretty good, so memory oc has been good. 3600c14 for benchmarks, 3600c16 for 24/7 is good for gen 1 zen
So these are basically EPYCs with overclocking enabled. Tbh I doubt they will be cheaper than actual EPYCs for 1p server.
I heard Overclocking is actually not enabled on these. And they are limited to 1 DIMM per Channel, so EPYC still has some use if you want more memory.
the leak says 2TB of max memory. if the leak is right, having a max memory capacity of 2TB probably it will have 2 or 4 dimms per channel (you can top it out at 2TB with 16*128GB server dimms (i havent found 256GB modules)).
There is exactly written 12/16/32/64 I'm curious around the price of the 16 cores and if 8 channel make a difference in desktop performances.
I maybe in for a 12 or 16 core (maybe more depending on the scaling of the prices) if they can run @3600 reliably in 8 channel mode w/ 128gb ECC (256gb is overkill for my application). My current threadripper is nearing its EOL; it will not run 128gb stable @3200 (did when it was new) but is fine with 64gb @3200. I am personally finding MSI a bit lacking with their products lately; the voltage regulators for the ram slots weaken after 6 months and they will not RMA the board anymore (on my fourth one now). Piss poor board design. I am still running overclocked boards and stock ones by other brands that are as stable today as they were put in to production 6 - 10 years ago (both desktop and server). If Asus puts out a decent board that is not laughably expensive I may bite and upgrade. Will have to watch this over the next 6 months or so.
this supposed(rumored) to go with sTRX80 chipset right ? wonder why there no leak/rumor related to chipset also interesting with the pricing, as afaik the EPYC pricing not that much higher compared to TR so i am guessing this will be similar case ?
