The AMD rep on reddit has indicated current boards will run it at stock - but might not be best suited for OC unless you've got one of the high end X399, also current boards will need BIOS update to support precision boost (I guess there's a chance some boards like the Asus Prime won't be able to fully boost the 32c)But can the existing X399 boards handle it? Gigabyte have a refreshed Aorus Extreme for TR2, but what about previous monsters like the Asus Zenith?
When will they release laptops with Ryzen? It's been more than a year and still nothng.
What, other than the Acer Swift 3, ASUS Strix GL702ZC, Lenovo Ideapad 720S, Lenovo Thinkpad E485, Huawei Matebook D, Dell Inspiron 13 7000 2-in-1 and Dell Inspiron 15 5000?
And that's a 3 second Google search.
This is a fake search.
I am looking in the shops/stores and there are exactly 0 4K notebooks with any AMD chips whatsoever available.
edit: I found yours but they are all with Ryzen 3 2200 and full HD or lower screens. So, meh.

I think this was the thread with comments from AMD rep in:The VRM side of the board would have to be pretty weak. I'd think all of the X399 boards would allow for overclocking and increased voltages to some extent.

TL;DW. The existing motherboards won't have an issue with 2nd Gen Threadripper. How do I know? Unlike Buildzoid, I've got hands on time with the product (I have evidence of this as part of the Computex press event where I ran the blender head to head demos for the press). Overclocking is never guaranteed.
Wait till you see the reviews to make up your own mind.
EDIT - for those of you who are still responding to this, thank you for your messages calling me a retard, it inspires me to help more of you with your issues or pass along your feedback. I visit this community because of my own interests, not my job requirements.
Buildzoid has edited the title of his video, to be clearer for those who are not long time viewers of his channel, and not fully familiar of the context of his comments.
This is one of those videos that tends to go beyond normal viewership because of it's discussion of the most highly anticipated products so far this year, speculating on issues/problems that have yet to be seen.
My 1920x running at 3.975GHz using a constant 1.325V uses roughly 220-235W when under full load depending on the instruction set. The VRM's on my gigabyte gaming 7 board get up to around 80 degrees at worst when stressed for a long period. I would expect the VRM temperature to exceed 100 degrees once the power draw passes 250W which I have no doubt the 24/32C parts could easily manage once overclocked.The VRM side of the board would have to be pretty weak.

Ryzen 7 2700 at its 65W at 4.1GHz is good enough to make it a decent 25-35-45W notebook chip.
