AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3960X, 3970X and 3990X Launch Dates Leaked
The folks over at Videocardz managed to snag some impressive information on AMD-s upcoming Threadripper lineup - their launch dates. According to the tech publication, a source within AMD provided information regarding previously-set dates for paper and hardware launches that stand at November 5th for the formal announcement of the next generation HEDT CPUs, followed by lifted embargos on reviews and actual product availability come November 19th. Apparently, AMD will only launch the Threadripper 3960X and 3970X come November 5th (remember remember the 5th of November), with a product announcement for the Threadripper 3990X which will only be launched in January 2020.
AMD will also formally unveil their next-gen Threadripper TRX40 platformon November 5th (which won't be compatible with previous-gen Threadrippers). This makes sense - CPUs without a platform to pin them onto doesn't seem like a conscientious business decision. No information was available on clockspeeds and core counts at this time, though the Threadripper 3960X, the base of the new lineup, is expected to sport 24 cores and 48 threads of Zen 2 goodness.

The cores use half or less of total consumption.
But it's no secret that various 1x00, 2x00 and even 3x00 CPU's are degrading fast once you apply voltages above 1.4 ~ 1.45V.
It's good they're still releasing these chips to fill workstations. And I suppose some fools who want to be parted with their money even though all they do is game/stream will always want the most expensive chips. But we're back into a place where HEDT doesn't mean Intel's converted server chips with high clocks. It just means get a 3900X or 3950X.
I think for what i do my 2700x will last for a few years before i'm even close to fully taxing that. There's no graphics card at this moment that is capable of fully taxing PCI-E 4.0, let alone the difference in between 3.0 and 4.0. The NVME argument is great, but only consists out of raw file copy performance, and even on my PCI-E 3.0 interface i could still raid-0 and outbeat a NVME PCI-E 4.0. As usual AMD is sometimes really ahead of it's time where we do not really know yet where to put all that raw horsepower into.
:clap:
His own 2700x will boost 1.45v-1.50v.... heh.
Stay under 1.5v though, because 1.6v is where you will degrade that chip "fast"
(personal experience applied.)
I'm going to keep my fingers crossed for a surprise come the official announcement but will start to prepare to accept my X399 setup is lvl max CPU and EOL :cry:
