For anyone looking for info about the socket:
* Epyc uses socket SP3 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socket_SP3 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socket_SP3
* Threadripper uses socket TR4 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socket_TR4 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socket_TR4
* Sockets SP3 and TR4 have the same number of pins (4094 pins) and they have the same cooler bracket mount (see https://www.overclock3d.net/news/cases_cooling/noctua_showcase_epyc_threadripper_ready_tr4_sp3_ready_cpu_coolers/1 https://www.overclock3d.net/news/cases_cooling/noctua_showca... )
* However they are still two separate sockets so you shouldn't expect to be able to use Epyc on TR4 or Threadripper on SP3
- Kubuxu 9y agoIt is probably to differentiate motherboards. You don't want the consumer to plug in Epyc into Threadripper's mobo and complain that there is not enough PCI-E lanes or memory channels.
