Third-generation AMD 7nm ThreadRipper processors make use of the 14nm [https://www.amd.com/en/chipsets/str40 TRX40 platform]. It is not backwards-compatible with first- or second-generation ThreadRippers, though the primary difference is in pin layout (the number of pins has not changed). It utilizes LGA ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_grid_array Land Grid Array]—FCLGA-4094 to be precise) and is speced at 15W. AMD recommends liquid cooling for the 32-core 3970x and 64-core 3990x. | Third-generation AMD 7nm ThreadRipper processors make use of the 14nm [https://www.amd.com/en/chipsets/str40 TRX40 platform].

Third-generation Threadrippers are rated at 280TDP at a large 58.5mm×75.4mm geometry. As of February 2020, very few AIO coolers cover the entire IHS (integrated heat spreader). [[Noctua|Noctua's]] 140mm [https://noctua.at/en/nh-u14s-tr4-sp3 NH-U14 TR4-SP3] HSF does provide full coverage. The [https://www.enermaxeu.com/products/cpu-cooling/liquid-cooling/liqtech-tr4-ii/ Enermax Liqtech TR4 II] AIO is similarly designed for this large socket (though you'll find many negative reviews regarding internal gunkification after a few months). | Third-generation Threadrippers are rated at 280TDP at a large 58.5mm×75.4mm geometry.
