Amd withdraws the third generation threadripper from its latest roadmap

We've had extensive information and references to Zen 2-based Ryzen and EPYC processors, but the third-generation Threadripper CPUs are hardly being talked about, and that would have a reason.

Third-generation AMD Threadripper could be delayed

AMD has removed Threadripper processors from its roadmap it shared during the company's first-quarter results report, where Ryzen 3000 and Threadripper 3000 were previously side by side, now there is only Ryzen 3000 with the claim. '' mid-year ''.

This is somewhat confusing because AMD made the change very quietly and without comment. Initial reaction to this kind of news could be that there is some kind of problem with Ryzen, but that is highly unlikely considering that AM4 based 500 series motherboards are expected to debut on Computex and AMD has already Demonstrated a demo of an eight core Ryzen 3000 CPU. The Threadripper 3000 is likely to be similar in design to Rome's EPYC processors for data centers, and AMD has already confirmed that Rome is working well and on schedule.

So what about the third generation of Threadripper? Threadripper may be delayed and may not arrive this year as originally planned. On the other hand, motherboards are also a complicating factor. Threadripper's TR4 socket has not seen an update since 2017 and still uses the X399 chipset. Admittedly, the X399 cards may be pretty good, but AMD will probably want to update them for the TR 3000. Although we've seen leaks and news about the 500 series boards for Ryzen, there has been no news of a new chipset for Threadripper. It may be that at Computex all these doubts are dispelled.
