Sounds like the 32core may not be available at first.

Rumor is none of the new TRs will be compatible with current motherboards:/
24 core TR 3960X and 32 core 3970X launching on Nov. 19th. Flagship 3990X launching in January but specs aren't known yet. AMD will release a teaser on Nov. 5th.
my birthday is in Dec. Just sayin'
Lol well, then you might also like to know that benches of AMD's mainstream Ryzen 3950X are surfacing and is spanking Intel's flagship 18 core 10980XE by up to 24%. Intel's HEDT CPUs also come out next month, but everything so far is showing them to be a complete waste of money.
For example, Intel is bragging about how they added more PCIe lanes (still 3.0 vs. AMD's 4.0), but if you already have an X299 board, these extra lanes won't work because the wiring physically doesn't exist, so Intel wants you to buy a new board again. And then there's no upgrade path after this gen either. Yet another new board. Also, if you already have a 9980XE, the 10980XE offers virtually no performance improvement anyway. Just some single-digit percentages that no one should pay $1000 for.
I'm expecting my BD's gift to be a TR 3970WX
Hope they still support X399 so I can upgrade my 1950X. But not gonna put my hopes too high
I was hoping for 3990XW, but looks like I'll have to wait til next Christmas lol
Zen 2 EPYC (server) CPUs with 32c/64t and 64c/128t are already available, and they have much bigger L3. Even dual CPU versions of them are available, so you could have a total of 128c/256t in a single machine now, if you wanted. So, why wait? Just higher clock speeds?
