ASUS preps two AMD TRX40 based motherboards

An entry in the USB-IF database reveals ASUS is working on two motherboards based on the "AMD TRX40", a new premium chipset from AMD. Presumably, this will be the platform for the third-generation Threadripper processors.

These are the two motherboards from ASUS revealed by the USB-IF database:

ASUS PRIME TRX40-PRO
ASUS ROG STRIX TRX40-E GAMING

VideoCardz reports the USB-IF leak listed three chipsets in total:

The original leak from USB-IF listed three chipsets: TRX40, TRX80, and WRX80. We are unable to tell what these numbers mean at this time, but one could guess they are going to offer more memory slots or PCIe lanes depending on the chipset and processor used. The WRX80, on the other hand, sounds like a workstation board. Whether these are more productivity-oriented boards or supporting higher core Threadripper CPUs, we don’t know yet.
