What an utter disaster of a Threadripper 7000 launch!

Compare the shocking absence of motherboards for TRX50 with those seen at the launch of TRX40, 4 years ago! Where are the feature-laden boards? No Zenith II Extreme, no Aurus etc etc etc. EVERY TRX50 (and there's almost none!) has had so many features ripped out. The back panels of TRX40 vs TRX40 says it all. No wonder MSI saw this disaster coming and pulled out.

TRX40 stands head and shoulders above any of this crap. We now know the real reason AMD broke that infamous TRX40 "long term support promise" killed it off after one(!!!) CPU release - they wanted to dilute all that functionality into 'pro' and 'non-pro' - BUT - they ended up with TRX50 motherboards that not even The Braindead would touch.

--> If AMD didn't think they killed off their entire non-pro HEDT userbase then, they damn well know they did now!
