We’ve been talking about the Ryzen 9 series HEDT processors (the 16 core parts) for a while now. At the Financial Analyst Day AMD's Jim Anderson announced high-performance enthusiast segmented performance CPUs, with up to 16 cores and 32 threads.
Jim Anderson announces 16-core / 32 thread desktop parts, threadripper. It will be available Summer 2017 and more information will become available during Computex. The Whitehaven platform should include support for quad-channel DDR4 memory support and offer additional PCIe lanes. Some unconfirmed additional rumors on these processors can be read up here. Threadripper processors will be available this Summer.

Originally SP3r2 4094-pin socket was developed for the AMD Naples series processor, but AMD did a 180 and is introducing it also as high-end desktop platform series processors and chipsets. Whitehaven will bring quad-channel towards the processor series and the most high-end process would get a 155W TDP, 125W for the 10 core parts.
