MSI Confirms Existence of AMD TRX40 based Motherboard for Threadripper 3000 Accidentally
We already mentioned many times that there will be new motherboards and chipsets for Threadripper. Three chipset model names have surfaced named TRX40, WRX80 and TRX80.
The platforms are targeted at a rather extensive minority of the market, workstation, developers, content creators prosumers and render farms. Earlier USB.org posted AMD 2019 Premium chipsets and there has been a recent update: Model Number: Superset, X570, TRX40, WRX80, TRX80. TRX 40 and TRX80 might be more consumer and workstation oriented with perhaps some differentiation on memory channels (4-channels /8-channels). The massive mega cores (hey 64c/128t is possible) in all likelihood is intended for the WRX80, which would be a kind of Epyc.
On its website, MSI has a promo page where you can win some stuff, and apparently MSI goofed up there, they confirmed a TRX40 motherboard called "Creator TRX40". And that certainly is a new line of products for MSI, but with that suffix, the new chipsets are now confirmed as videocardz spotted.
The entry already has been removed when I double-checked this:

It should even support octa channel ram and up to 64c/128t. Idk how can intel fight this.

Speak for yourself! RGB LEDs add 5% to gaming benchmarks, and stickers put on the chassis (particularly covering up those ugly fan vents) are known to give an additional 5%.
Psh... noob....
Hope Asrock, Asus, Gigabyte and all the heavy hitters comes out with good quality components and a NO BLING option! Just good quality with performance.

I actually wasn't a fan of RGB until I "accidentally" bought some RGB ram during my 1600X build and now I'm even running the Wraith Prism with it's RGB on. I think I have a 10 second computer now......

I never bought something specifically for RGB, but a lot of modern / high-end gear comes with it (and I'm typically too lazy to turn it off
). It's how they get ya.

I'm guessing there are two different IO dies - the standard desktop one and the server/WS one: 2 vs 8 channels, 24 ish vs many PCIe lanes...?

The title says it all, "may not be backwards compatible" then they go on about the pin layout may need to change due to large chiplet design but i have a feeling this is only applicable for the 64 core CPU which in all honesty the current boards VRM layout and tracing may prove issues anyway since the Ryzen 3000 is sensitive to transient response.

Note the word "rumor"... It's very difficult for me to take wccftech seriously. When they broke the false story about Dr. Su going back to IBM (so silly, that), even when Dr. Su herself denied the rumor immediately, the wccftech author said, unbelievably, "I stand by my story".... Unreal. So the guy expects people to believe that he knows more about Dr. Su's business than Dr. Su? Oh, brother. Fake news proliferates, and many people are finding a Tweet to be a marvelous antidote to incessant media propaganda. Of course, such immediate corrections really bother the people responsible for the propaganda, providing an up-close look at their lack of character, brains, or both.

I am waiting for this. Quad Channel RAM, at least 8-12 cores to start at reasonable prices to start.
