AMD Ryzen Threadripper processors could have up to 64 cores and 128 processing threads, although it is not known when they will reach the market.
For weeks, there's been talk about Ryzen Threadripper processors and the assumption that we wouldn't see any more of them. This was all because Ryzen processors reached 16 cores, making further additions seem pointless. Well, Lisa Su has now confirmed that these processors will arrive, but in due course. These processors will be positioned between the 16-core Ryzen 9 3950X and the 64-core AMD EPYC ROME. The latest information suggests that the next Threadripper could have up to 64 cores and 128 threads.

This new family of Threadripper processors would be accompanied by the X599 chipset. The sockets of these processors will remain the TR4, so updating the BIOS will be enough. Of course, we must emphasize that to use the PCIe 4.0 interface. Logically, for processors of this type if it is necessary to update the motherboard, to obtain the best possible performance.
Nothing was known about prices, but the maximum exponent of these 64-core Threadripper could cost $ 3000. It remains to be seen if the price is adequate or not, something that can only be valued when compared with Intel processors.
Currently nothing is known about these processors, we do not know completely when these processors will arrive. It is rumored that these processors might not arrive in 7nm, but could arrive in the 7nm + litho, more optimized.
These processors probably won't hit the market until the end of the year. AMD has chosen to prioritize mainstream and server processors over these processors. This is because Threadrippers have a more limited market and would not be in such a rush. It seems unlikely that these processors will arrive with a more advanced version than the Ryzen 3000. It does not seem logical that they will arrive in 7nm + instead of 7nm.
