TechPowerUp spreads news that AMD's third-generation Ryzen Threadripper processor series may arrive in October. According to Taiwanese tech site DigiTimes, the launch of the new Threadripper will roughly coincide with the release of Intel's 10th Gen Core "Cascade Lake-X" HEDT platform.

AMD has been keeping pretty mum about its next Threadripper so we don't know what to expect. If it's based on a full Rome design, the new AMD HEDT platform could feature up to 64 CPU cores, with 4-channel DDR4 and 64 PCIe 4.0 lanes:
The 3rd generation Ryzen Threadripper will likely be a derivative of the company's "Rome" multi-chip module, and compatible with existing socket TR4 motherboards with a BIOS update, although a new chipset could also be launched to enable PCI-Express gen 4.0. AMD has the option to deploy up to 64 CPU cores across eight 7 nm "Zen 2" chiplets, while the 12 nm I/O controller die will be likely reconfigured for the HEDT platform with a monolithic 4-channel DDR4 memory interface and 64 PCIe gen 4.0 lanes. It's capable of 8 memory channels on the 2nd generation EPYC.
