MSI accidentally leaks AMD’s planned 64-core Threadripper CPU via TRX40 Video

Yesterday, AMD officially announced its Ryzen 3rd Generation Threadripper series of processors and their TRX40 motherboard platform (more info here), revealing a staggering generational leap over the company’s existing Threadripper series lineup. 

Alongside this announcement, MSI officially revealed a range of new TRX40 series motherboards, including its Creator TRX40. Within a video for this motherboard, MSI accidentally announced AMD’s plans for its TRX40 platform by showing Windows 10’s task manager with 128 active threads. That means that AMD has a 64-core Threadripper processor on the way. 

AMD has teased that its TRX40 platform is scalable, but they didn’t announce that it was scalable to high core counts than its 32-core Threadripper 3970X. That said, AMD’s last-generation Threadripper flagship was the Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX, making it possible that a 3990X/3990WX is on the horizon.  

MSI has since removed and re-uploaded the video which included the 128-thread image below. This image was quickly captured by WccfTech.
