It's not a surprise really, in fact, we have been noting the 48-core part in our initial Threadripper 3000 reviews already, but yes next year (or this year depending on how late you read this) AMD will release a 64-core Threaqdripper, the 3990X and a 3980X as well, with 48-cores.
Chinese website MyDrivers mentions that CPU-Z contains references to the Threadripper 3980X. Officially, the changelog only mentions support for the other three Threadripper 3000 chips. The 3980X would be between the 32-core 3970X and the 64-beast 3990X with 48 cores and 96 threads.
It is expected to once again see a 280 Watt SKU.
