	If AMD planned backward compatibility, probably yes. Next infos for TR3 and first avalability maybe in november. New bios versions for christmas or beginning of next year.

	Looks like maybe not. Post on Tweaktown quotes from the creator of the DRAM Calculator for AMD Ryzen CPUs and he seems to think the changes to the memory controller will be a problem. Oh well, wait and see. I think I saw a Geekbench score that quoted the MSI X399 MEG CREATION as the motherboard so perhaps there's hope.

	Jeez, I hope they support at least one previous generation of motherboards with Threadripper. x399 cost enough money.

	I know. What is worrying me is the cost of x570 motherboards with PCIE4 and what that means for new Threadripper motherboards with PCIE4 . . . probably have to sell a few organs to get one. Technically the existing motherboards have covered 1st and 2nd gen Threadripper but I was hopeful we'd have 3rd gen covered as well.
