    TR3 aren't dead, they just aren't ready for release in 19h2

    Just as someone mentioned already, my guess is that they will divert all the resources first to the DoE/Cray supercomputer contract first. Can't risk any production issues before that.

    It makes some sense since they had it in the roadmap at first and then removed it when I assume they officially got the contract.

    OMG, poor Intel, Imagine what they gonna do with the extra TDP headroom on TR4, Moreover - since Intel went to big platform with 6ch memory with the new Xeon W lineup, I think the new X599 will go upto 8CH memory with max Boost clock at 5Ggz.

    Now Intel is the new Buldozer-LOL!.

    Bandwidth being a by product of the number of lanes available, still doesn't deprecate Threadripper as Zen 2 threadripper would still offer more lanes just just with PCIe4. You're still limited on X570 in the number of devices with direct CPU access as I haven't seen any evidence of X570 boards offering any more connectivity by further splitting lanes. Instead we're getting new gen 4 devices to absorb the bandwidth being made available.
