so let's talk about Amy's rising thread repair processors first since that's likely something that you all want to know about a bit more before I get too far into these motherboards these processors are made to go head-to-head against Intel's upcoming skylake X CPUs in the high-end desktop space it's called thread River for a reason since processors based around this version of the engine architecture will have up to 16 cores and 32 threads a chip with those type of specs will take a massive amount of space on any board and that's why this socket is so massive I mean look at it it's almost a quarter of the size of an ITX board thread Ripper targets the ultra premium desktop market so it won't come cheap our coffee tech strip is brought to you by fan tech schoolmaster and MSI now the first board here is the X 399 professional gaming and it has a ton of features what we can see is like Intel's x99 and upcoming X 299 platforms rising thread Ripper will use quad-channel ddr4 memory and as Rock has prepared their board for exactly that there's also four 16x pcie 3.0 slots that support four-way SLI and crossfire but we're not quite sure about what format that will be but without a doubt this board will be able to run in dual 16x mode there are also three ultra and two slots each of which have access to four PCI lanes of course such a large CPU requires a lot of power so as Rock has even installed a second four pin power header next to the memory modules as for other features there's a EULA two connector for fast enterprise-class SSDs front panel USB 3.1 gen2 it created some Blaster audio system and a few more interesting items that are being kept under wraps for the time being moving on to the X 399 Taichi and other than a few slight heatsink changes it has the same basic setup as the professional with a few minor changes there's four PCI 3.0 16x slots 3 m dot two slots with nvme compatibility and almost the same secondary storage system startup as well as au doctor character and eight SATA ports right now both of these motherboards are very much in their preliminary stages as as rocks X 3 9 and lineup will of course expand before AMD launches thread Ripper in the coming months we'll make sure to keep you updated about that so that wraps up our quick coverage of the ads around explain nai motherboard here copy text make sure you stay tuned for more videos I mean we're with Harkin X thank you so much for watching and we'll see you in the next one
