The AMD Zen 3 architecture provided significant performance improvements with the company releasing server, desktop, and mobile processors featuring the architecture. AMD is yet to update their Threadripper lineup with the new architecture however that looks set to change with the company reportedly preparing to announce the next generation "Chagall" Threadripper 5000 processors in August. The Threadripper family is in dire need of a refresh with the latest 3000 series processors being launched back in November 2019. The new processors should be compatible with existing TRX40 motherboards with a simple BIOS update.

And please, start the lineup on 12 cores again.
Anyway, I've yet to see Threadripper 3000 in stock, and considering how scarce Ryzen 5000 is, this doesn't bode well for Threadripper 5000 availability.

I agree that they should make lower core count TR again, especially when there is actually a 16-core Threadripper Pro for $1149.
It makes no sense that the HEDT TR starts at a higher core count and price point ($1400) then the Pro counterparts.
Adding insult to injury, X399 users like myself were completely left to dry when TR 3000 launched.
For some time now I’ve seen noteworthy stock of RyZen 5600X and 5800X from the likes of Microcenter and a few other location. SOL for RyZen 5950X and 5900X though Because I’ve seen no credible sources. Threadripper 3000 stock seems to be available at Microcenter too.
Will need to wait for Zen 4 for those features as per roadmaps shared in the long long ago.

I have to say that this smells of a rotten source.
MEBBE an announcement from SU at Computex... However, all signs are pointing to an issue for HPC and HEDT CPUs at 7nm. A WAG is can't hit clocks for those two class CPUs.
