I am not sure if there is such a topic on SQ forum but i think some of the members would be interested in relevant news regarding PC hardware. Main focus is the processor.
also this would be of potential interest for beginners in SQ in choosing a particular configuration for their new system
The x86 architecture has been hitting something of a wall lately but AMD looks like it could be set to inject it with a fresh breath of life. According to the rumor mill, the company has finalized the Zen 3 design and it introduces a new SMT4 feature that will allow each core to execute four threads simultaneously.

If SQx could be runned in Linux you can run 128 since Linux group first after 128 it is a windows problem not SQx
Can SQ be run on linux ?
I thought SQ was built with Java, if this is the case couldnt it be built for Linux ?
Also the new Threadrippers look fantastic.

There’s a feature request for it here.

This would be amazing for the new AMD processors. Mark said it was harder than he thought to get it on Linux but it is planned for the future. Hopefully we are able to get this soon. I feel like it would take the performance of SQ to a new level.

MSI blunder confirms existence of incredible 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3990X with 64 cores and 128 threads of processing power
Little is known about the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3990X beyond its expected core/thread count. It’s rumored it will cost in the US$3,000 region and could be officially announced when its 3rd Gen stable-mates are launched (November 25). However, it will apparently be January 2020 before we can actually find out the full specifications of AMD’s 64-core HEDT chip.

i am also thinking to start another thread, only with PC configurations and setups for those wanting a new system or an upgrade, with relevant tests and roundups
I think this would be a great idea.
if we posted our computer specs, others could see what type of performance to expect from similiar setups.

AMD Ryzen Threadripper sTRX4 & TR4 Socket Pin Layouts Detailed – Vastly Different Config on 3rd Gen TRX40 Platform
https://wccftech.com/amd-ryzen-threadripper-strx4-tr4-socket-layout-detailed/
“Right from the start, we could not that on sTRX4, lots of pins that were previously unused by the TR4 socket have been enabled. The pin count is still 4094 for the socket itself for the SP3 socket but the revised naming should be considered here. The sTRX4 SP3 socket has more pins enabled than the TR4 SP3 socket.”

AMD claims that Zen 3 will offer beyond 15% IPC gains over Zen 2
Zen 2 represented an evolution of the original Zen microarchitecture, but that it had delivered higher than expected IPC gains because AMD had brought ideas that it had not been able to implement in Zen to Zen 2. By contrast, he claimed that AMD has started anew with Zen 3.
Norrod also stated that AMD expects to release third-generation EPYC processors in Q3 2020.

AMD 3950X has hit the stores
its the most powerful processor on AM4 socket and one of the most powerful of all, second only to the top WX threadrippers. Power consumption is 80W in idle and 220W in full load (entire system, not just the CPU).

Rumor | Ryzen 4000 and X670 to launch in late 2020, Socket AM5 to debut with Ryzen 5000
Zen 3-based Ryzen 4000 is touted to offer anywhere between 8 to 15% IPC gains and moderately higher clocks over the current Ryzen 3000 lineup. However, Ryzen 4000 is most likely to be the last Socket AM4-compatible generation, according to a insider information obtained by RedGamingTech.
