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.
