True, I can't see them bringing out or even announcing a Volta GeForce card just yet considering the 1080 Ti is 2 months old and the Titan Xp is 1 month old.

In other news, Asus Crosshair VI Extreme AM4 spotted at computex, From what I can make out the only differences from the Hero version is it has an extra M.2 slot, Built in Wifi, Slightly bigger chipset heatsink and a right angle 24 pin connector, The latter of which should be standard on all motherboards by now -

AMD could bring out a 20 core TR for all we know :)

I doubt it, AMD makes their CPUs now by having several 8-core dies on a PCB. IE 2x for threadripper and 4x for Naples/EPYC.

In theory, AMD could make a 24-core, but I doubt they would fit onto the Threadripper socket. Many sites are reporting that it used the same socket as EPYC but it isn't, SP3r2 (TR) is not SP3 (EPYC).

It would be nice to see, but improbable.
 
"The main difference is that while X99 allowed for 2 DIMMs per channel, X299 supports only single DIMM per channel. So while you were able to use all eight DIMM slots on the X99 boards, the same cannot be done with X299. One must question why are there still eight DIMM slots on the board if the platform only allows for four DIMM installation. Maybe the slide showcased by Intel is an error or there’s something we have yet to know about the platform itself."

That surely cannot be right.

Nah, motherboard makers would not add unusable parts to their boards, something has to be wrong with that info.

Exactly! It's because of the picture of the overview on the monitor I posted two pages back. I found it conflicting with reality.

Mark, two pages back I also posted an Asus board, in case you may have overlooked it?

I have seen it, just a huge amount of stuff happening ATM. Computex is overdrive time, I could not sleep this week and still not get everything done.

It's my understanding from seeing Intel's one (aw dear indeed AlienALX) that it's compatible with previous sockets so in theory our current coolers should be good for LGA 2066 (?). I am well happy with H105 and I stick some Vardars on there and use it for SKL-X I've saved some decent money right there as I doubt the new coolers will knock off like an extra 10C.

Yes it's still the same as 2011 and 2011-3, all cooler supporting that are compatible. Even the old 1366 is same hole distance, but if I recall this one actually used a back plate to mount
