AMD probably gave the reviewers different embargo dates to when the 3950x and 3960x reviews can go up.
Actually pretty smart to have them separated out so each can get looked at in detail instead of just getting lost between each other

My bad i guess i know they are coming out on the 25th same as the 3950x but i remember reading a slide somewhere that the nda for the Threadrippers was today. Cannot find that slide anywhere. Oh well doesn't matter much less than a week to go anyway.

Good lord. 64/128 thread Threadripper 3990X in 2020?

Here the GB you might be looking for?
Yeah I've seen that link and found some Corsair 128 GB Memory (Corsair Vengeance LPX Black 128GB 2400 MHz DDR4 Quad Channel Memory Kit) but I think I need faster RAM. But no prices for the board or availability. 
I will try and order the CPU later regardless.

Yup, for $3000 or more..
sounds like a good value at that price but i would expect under 3k though myself
Maybe for the missing in the graph 48-core/96-thread 3980X, which is kind of confirmed by wccftech in their table https://wccftech.com/amd-ryzen-threadripper-3990x-64-core-cpu-2020-launch-confirmed/

The Gigabyte Extreme has Dual 10GBe LAN, but I doubt it will be well priced.

I'll link you a RAM kit that I have used in the next post.
Cheers. It's frustrating that all the new TR boards don't have 10 Gbit, dropping £2k+ onto a platform I would expect it. I can sell my current servers and RAM for circa £2.5k-£3k plus whatever my current intel rig is worth so I have budget for the right board etc.

10Gb is still quite niche, even for this platform. It also adds a lot to the price of the board and with the heap of PCIe lanes, it's a good option to leave it to the consumer to add-in if needed and leave the onboard solution to the top tier boards.

Trying to find out about the RAM that is currently in the Taichi but that is only a sample set. I have used the https://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/dram/module/M391A4G43MB1-CTD/ which is the 2666MHz version, but the current parts we have in it are M391A4G43AB1-CVF which is the 2933MHz version, I should imagine you can get this pretty soon.
Do you 100% want ECC UDIMM's?
I've only populated it with 128GB, but it is with 4x 32GB modules and I've had them running at 3200MHz not 100% stable but I could probably do with bumping the voltage, however that wasn't part of the test I was carrying out just wanted to try it
No, I don't need ECC. I currently have 192 GB of it (pretty sure it's Samsung) but I don't know the speed. But as I mentioned in another post they don't have heat spreaders on so I'd imagine they'd be terrible for gaming. Edit, looks like 2133 Mhz.

Stacks of choice if you don't want ECC UDIMM's then, but don't let the heat spreaders fool you with regards to suitability for gaming. Som of the best DDR4 RAM I had earlier this year was unbranded green Samsung modules, no heat spreaders.
Corsair do the CMK256GX4M8E3200C16 which is a 256GB kit, 3200MHz C16, but you are looking at £1k+
