I like the led lights at the sound ports. they should do that with the other ports too imho.

Wait Threadripper is LGA not PGA? Also looks like I would have to buy a new CPU block for this. That's and added expense I was not expecting.

Smart naming - X399. X399 will come off sounding higher than X299

Can you imagine 4k+ pins on PGA ? I can't, even with LGA this is a huge socket. I hope someone on Computex makes picture of AM4 CPU vs this monster.

I asked because I thought LGA was an Intel patent.

They sure didn't leave much room for anything. Considering the geometry, this is going to need some very specialized heatsinks, and I don't think it'll be possible to have a single motherboard CPU thermometer - the die is just too big and the reading would be very inaccurate. As for the 2nd 8-pin connector, I'm sure that's only there for overclockers, or, high-clocked CPUs with more than 16 cores. Remember, the current 8-pin connector safely supports up to 288W. A Ryzen 1800X consumes roughly 16W-18W per core (hard to know exactly when you account the the wattage of the rest of the system, but it's definitely less than 19W). That being said, in a worst case scenario, the 16-core models will use 256-288W. I'm sure AMD won't push the envelope that hard, and it wouldn't surprise me if they refine the architecture enough to be slightly more efficient at higher speeds.

They've had a couple LGA sockets in the past I know of, more for multiple core segment though. They're just crazy huge! C32 is one I can think of off the top of my head.

No offense but what are you expecting? It's a huge core count, needs power! Most people that would buy this setup probably aren't too worried about power draw.

My way of thinking is with that big of a pinout, it might not be a good idea to have that many pins on the cpu...

all server and server derivatives are LGA

This was already know since the beginning? At least, ever since we knew the socket was named SP3r2...

Double 8 pins, dear lord.
it's pretty common on entusiast mother board. on an old X79 from MSI it was even 2X8pin + 2xPCIe power pin
