Yesterday I posted from my source talk of a new platform, today Chiphell leaked the X399 which my source confirmed is real.

Public knowledge by now but AMD has a new HEDT platform coming out in a couple of months
You'll see more of it at Computex I believe.
It's a 16 core /32 Thread, quad channel behemoth. And it is insanely quick in the tests that Ryzen is already excelling at. So Cinebench, and all other related productivity programs. The gaming issues that were causing the Ryzen AM4 CPUs to behave erratically to say the least have been ironed out. It's akin to a newer revision on a newer platform. This should be competing with the Xeon and of course 6950X Intel offers for $1700~$1800USD, but at about $1,000 USD if not less for some Skews. Coming soon.
CPSs are pretty big physically, about twice the size of surrent 6950X CPUs and a bit more perhaps.
And if you were hoping for pins, nope it's strictly LGA!
IT's NOT 8 channel, but Quad.
Will be a splendid competition between X299 and this AMD platform. Skylake-X is pretty good, not revolutionary but a meaningful step up in IPC and the clocks are pretty high as well. If Intel will have a 32 core part to compete on X299 remains to be seen, but the HEDT platform is going to change quite a bit in the next 4 to 6 months.
I did confirm that the new silicon rivisions with "ironed" out issues is all the way from these behemoths to the entry level SKU's, I am not really getting my knickers in abunch about this anymore, performance is coming but only if you haven't bought a chip yet.
I held out for so long until decided to just say screw it and go 6800k... I was so loyal to AMD for so long... and this is what happens... God forbid I just waited... oh well, hopefully AMD can keep this up for the next few years when I'm ready to buy again.
It would likely be in a 4+4+4+4 configuration seeing how the 1400 is constructed. I could see it hitting 3.8 at around 200w. Would make for a mighty fun chip.

I still find it hard to believe with so many cores... could they make it palatable to desktop users by enabling, for example, turning off two CCXes on the fly for gaming purposes and re-enabling them for productivity?

Even if Zen hits a wall at 4.0 Ghz, if priced right just as they currently did, this will give Intel a run for the money. This is seriously good news, Intel is about to get a rude awakening.
Plus, they launched Zen already so this gives them a solid 6 months to iron any issues out and release a fairly polished product at launch.
Yes, exactly. I haven't looked much into that utility, but that's the question + if they can market it in a way that by disabling two CCXes (half the chip), that you'll be guaranteed to reach the same base / boost clocks as the 1800X.
You know, in a distant way it's akin to when Intel released the first hexa core. By that time Intel's fastest CPU was the 45nm i7 975 Extreme Edition, at 3.33 Ghz, and when the 980X was released it represented a zero compromise solution as its new 32nm process meant that they were able to match the same 3.33 Ghz clockspeed right from the start at the same TDP. AMD of course doesn't have a new manufacturing process up its sleeve, so the next best thing is to do what I said above.

Edit: maybe the first paragraph of my previous post makes my point clearer:

Do you guys think this is legit or a retread of the 16 core Naples rumors from last year? Since we now know Naples is 32 core could they have re purposed the 16 core variant into an HEDT consumer platform?

AMD already launching a new platform to replace Zen or whatever so soon? They just released Ryzen, but if this is to compete against X99 or Intel's upcoming Skylake X then it should be interesting.

If this works like Naples, it should have almost exactly double of everything Ryzen has, and probably lower clocks to fit in a 140w TDP.
