I am so glad that I moved from AM4 to TR4. I am in no way saying the AM4 is bad. The fact that we are going to see new TR4 chips combined with the release and reviews of AMD's latest Epyc chips can only be good for Threadripper owners. Imagine running TR4 at 3800 MHZ on 32GB or 64GB of quad channel!? Even those that mainly game should be over the moon with the performance uplift provided, but the Motherboards are where Threadripper shines for me. All of the I/O goodness and the sheer number of expansion options is great. With some of the carrots they have put on X570; Thunderbolt support on some boards, PCI_E 4.0 (I know but it is still nice to be bleeding edge) and I can imagine at least 64 PCI_E 4.0 but up to 128 PCI-E_3.0 equivelant lanes, probably 2.5Gbit or 10Gbit network cards and even Expansion cards (Can you imagine the Sequential on 4 PCI_E 4.0 drives in RAID 0). This is truly the best time to be into computing; so many options and really none of them are bad. CPUs from Intel and AMD all have their use cases but the sheer number of platforms is wonderful and sometimes daunting.
