I could definitely see AMD not bothering with a Zen 3 Threadripper. The current TR socket mess doesn't look fun to update, and there's a new socket right around the corner anyway. But AMD is going to want to establish consistency with OEMs still, so Intel not having anything competitive right now is merely a reduction in pressure on AMD, not something that eliminates it entirely. A Zen 3 Threadripper Pro as a result still seems more likely than not, even if consumer Threadripper doesn't get a Zen 3 treatment. I'm sure AMD would also prefer to simplify the chiplets its fabricating as well. Why keep making Zen 2 chiptlets for TR Pro specifically and nothing else?
