Threadripper 3000 would not be compatible with x399 motherboards

The creator of DRAM Calculator (and user of the Guru3D forums) gave hints about the compatibility of X399 with the upcoming Threadripper 3000 processors, and according to his words, there will be none.

AMD reportedly redesigned Threadripper 3000 and will require new motherboards

AMD would have decided that Threadripper is only compatible with the new motherboards with TRX40 and TRX80 chipsets, which learned of their existence relatively recently.

Very little is said about Threadripper 3000 really, however the DRAM Calculator DRAM user (1usmus) does specifically hint that Threadripper processors based on the Zen2 architecture require a redesign of their pins. This is mainly due to the fact that the processors have a new single memory controller, as well as additional pins for PCIe 4.0.

At the moment, all the information is classified and I don't have access to it . ” This closes the user.

Three model names named TRX40, WRX80 and TRX80 have appeared. TRX 40 and TRX 80 could be more consumer and workstation oriented, with perhaps some differentiation in memory channels (4 channels / 8 channels). The top-of-the-range processors (64 cores and possibly 128 threads) are most likely intended for the WRX80, which would be a kind of EPYC HEDT. We will keep you informed.
