Soo my 2990Wx become by worthless ... baad amd...***** ***** ********* i have taichi x399... i have now three M.2 ssd s and want another,,, with pcie 4.... and pci-4 lanes too.. +another features.. witch now have 570 chipset mobos And for this i must buy NEW CPU..?!!?!?!? about 2000 usd .. +mobo with new chipset WR80..600-800usd ,, what the hell with you amd? i have HI END cpu 2990wx and now you make my cpu worthless fff.. , non upgradable ,, soo i loose 1800 usd, All intel fan have true and right to make eeess from whole amd ..this is crazy from amd,
Lol is not worthless is still a darn fast system.

they explained the argument, big changes in memory controller. We can argue that is not true, but i see no reason to upgrade from a 64 thread ryzen 2000 to a 64 thread ryzen 3000 without getting all the possible improvements. Also is easier to seel mb + cpu + ram rather than cpu only

If view of you declaring your hardware worthless, I offer you a whole 10 (Ten) American dollars for your worthless CPU. Can't say fairer than that

If true, this certainly sucks for current TR owners. Like others here, I've been hoping to upgrade to the new Threadripper on my current board. Of course AMD didn't say much on socket TR4 compatibility, but we were all hoping it would be similar to AM4. If a new socket is needed, I hope it comes with decent specs. Octa-channel memory and 64 PCIe 4.0 lanes might do the trick (admittedly, it is a bit awkward for the consumer line to have PCIe 4.0 while HEDT is still on PCIe 3.0). In other words, if we need to shell out for a new board, let's hope it's worth it.

Yet you would be the first to splutter if there were compatibility issues with the current motherboards. 🙂 And I wonder how many TR owners ($650-1800) are angry about this.

The weird thing is I thought TR4 was going to be more likely to have backward compatibility, due to it being based on a server socket (which tend to be LTS), and, because there's only 1 chipset (meaning, a lot less debugging to do). Anyone know about backward compatibility with the Zen2 Epycs? Because I'm sure TR would follow the same pattern. I would think that if you need complete compatibility with the 3000 series, you'll need an X399 chipset.

Why not just go for Epyc? It's a lot cheaper if you get the models that aren't multi-socket compatible. I'm sure the outdated 24 and 32 core models must have dropped a lot in price.

Still pretty pricey from what I see. Boards also cost a pretty penny so not really attractive from a cost perspective.

Excellent News for me.
