Nice source you got there, user-chan.

I've seen some sources saying this.
But then the CES Keynote presentation clearly states 7nm.
And new mobile things are only supposed to be 12nm.
So there's still hope.

idk, considering they already have to add a second die to their consumer parts its not going to be that much more expensive to add another chiplet onto the board for an r9 series 16 core part. The 12 core AM4 leak along with the msi 8+ core support leak means its looking pretty good that they're going to make a consumer part with more than 8 cores. Also a gpu/io die is never going to happen, the io die is already confirmed to be on 14nm. It would be hilarious if AMD took a step backward for their next generation APUs.
Whats for sure going to happen though is that the current 2700x is going to become a lot more efficient with much better avx256 performance. So they're gonna wind up printing money in the commercial market at the very least.

The thing is, they'd be seriously undercutting their own Threadripper lineup if they did that.
Maybe the leaks were actually a way to test the water before this conference, and they relized they could still make shitload of money selling 'only' 8 cores.
Maybe keep a 12 core 3800x for later in the year, when Intel releases its 10 core neutron star.

What did you mean by this?

A reason to finally upgrade from 2500K.

It's not like Intel where they have their HEDT line of stuff and have to worry about how much effort/money they put into them. Threadripper is literally just multiple of their consumer chips sharing a die. Not to mention Threadripper offers more than just cores. Shit load of PCIe lanes, 8 memory slots with quad channel, etc.
I for one do not need any of the stuff Threadripper offers other than cores/threads. A Higher core count AM4 platform chip would be fantastic. Even if they're only going with 12c24t I'd take it.
