AMD to release 3rd Gen Threadripper processors this year already

There's no slowing down AMD isn't there? AMD will release their third generation Threadripper processors this year already. A presentation slide from an investors briefing confirms that info to become a true fact. Obviously, there are no details about the CPUs series just yet.

The slide that shows AMD mentioning third Threadripper was spotted by Tom's Hardware. We all know Ryzen 3000 is due out for a release this year, 7nm, chiplet design and likely high clock frequencies on ZEN2 that go along with it. Ryzen series 3000 procs are expected to be released halfway this year.

Threadripper CPUs originally have been released just two years ago, and shook up and reshaped the market for Intel alright, that was Summer 2017 folks. The 2nd gen based in 12nm fabrication was released exactly a year later so we expect AMD to follow that timeframe, August 2019? The roadmap does mention it is subject to changes.

Its really not that surprising that they would want a Zen2 Threadripper on 7nm out there, as Ryzen 3000 would otherwise already eat into the lower-end parts of the previous Threadripper lineup, if the rumors of its specs are true.

For me it was obvious.... AMD will release it as soon as they can. they want to keep the momentum of Ryzen going and strike now when Intel doesn't have an answer.
Intel can quickly catch up with their massive R&D and AMD knows that.
The only part I don't agree with is the word "quickly". Intel is struggling to keep up with their own plans that had little to do with AMD, to the point that they're contracting TSMC. Intel has more than enough money to make a major competitive product but they don't seem to be able to get it out fast enough.
