Trx40, trx80 and wrx80, the new amd chipsets for threadipper
Table of contents:
At the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF), the names of three new AMD chipset designs, TRX40, TRX80, and WRX80, have all emerged, all of which are compatible with SuperSpeed USB 10Gbps (USB 3.0).
TRX40, TRX80 and WRX80, AMD's New Chipsets for Third-Generation Threadipper
These naming schemes suggest that AMD's Threadripper lineup will fall into three categories. These are the low-end Threadripper (TRX40), high-end TR (TRX80) and the 'Workstation-Grade' (WRX80) models. These chipsets will compete with Intel's X299 and C621 sockets.

This new naming scheme is a clear sign of AMD's confidence in its upcoming third-generation Threadripper processors, with the company's WRX80 acting as a clear competitor to Intel's most advanced Xeon CPUs. With the 3rd generation of the Threadripper, AMD hopes to gain a foothold in the high-end CPU markets, clearly separating its workstation from high-end consumer products.
The third-generation AMD Threadripper processors are rumored to ship with support for both four-channel and eight-channel memories, which could be the reason behind AMD's TRX40 and TRX80 chipsets. The X40 model could offer four memory channels, while the X80 model could offer eight memory channels. It is also possible that AMD's high-end chipsets support more PCIe tracks or other connectivity improvements. In addition, AMD's quality workstation chipset can also support advanced ECC memory and other business-grade features.
At this time, AMD has revealed nothing about its third-generation Ryzen Threadripper series processors, other than the fact that they are coming. AMD's Lisa Su has said she hopes to hear more about Threadripper in the near future, probably at the time Intel releases its next X299 series of Cascade Lake CPUs. We will keep you informed.
