VideoCardz, which has a solid track record of reliable insider information, has seemingly obtained classified AMD documents that disclose the launch and embargo dates for the chipmaker's looming Ryzen Threadripper 3960X, 3970X and 3990X processors. The leaker acknowledges that the documents are dated by a few weeks, so the revealed dates might not be valid anymore.

Assuming AMD hasn't changed the dates, the Ryzen Threadripper 3960X and 3970X processors are said to make their debut on November 5. The chipmaker is also expected to reveal the TRX40 chipset to accompany the core-heavy chips. Motherboard vendors will get their chance to present new TRX40-based products as well. The sale and review embargoes will purportedly lift on November 19.

In regards to the Ryzen Threadripper 3990X, VideoCardz says AMD will only tease the processor's core count on November 5, as the chip is allegedly scheduled to come out in January 2020. If we have to take an educated guess, AMD is likely saving the flagship chip for an epic announcement at CES 2020 next year.

Surprisingly, the leaked documents make no mention of the Ryzen Threadripper 3980X part or the TRX80 chipset. However, we're pretty certain that the TRX80 and WRX80 chipsets exist as per a recent USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF) listing.

With its 3rd generation Ryzen Threadripper "Castle Peak" HEDT processor family, AMD isn't bothering with 16-core models as the company's mainstream desktop socket AM4 platform already offers those many cores with the upcoming Ryzen 9 3950X. The lineup will begin with the Ryzen Threadripper 3960X, which is the 24-core/48-thread part. The model number "3950X" is already taken up by the 16-core socket AM4 chip. Confirmation of this came from an "Ashes of the Singularity" screenshot that references an "AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3960X 24-core Processor."
