Holy hell please let this be real.
It's a mockup: Asus wouldn't call an Intel Consumer-line enthusiast OC mITX board (Maximus Impact) the same for ThreadRipper and just increment the number. The "Hero" on the top heatsink also stands out because of this.
Still it is very good mockup. I think that Impact style rised VRMs would allow for a ThreadRipper ITX motherboard and maybe even serious OCing.
Threadripper ROG boards will have the "Zenith" branding on them. So if there was ever one, it would be most likely coined "Zenith Impact" and then "Zenith II Impact" the next generation, etc.
Having just built my first ITX system with an R7, I would say it is next to impossible to build a TR ITX motherboard. mATX should be doable.
Ah man it should be labeled NFSW because that's tech porn.
I'd be okay with just 3 or 4 m.2 slots, that's still be enough for raid 5 and just the core density of threadripper on mitx would be insane. I really wouldn't expect there to be a ton of extras on the board though because threadripper + a vrm that can handle it would pretty much consume the entire board as is. Might have to have another vrm on a daughter board
I'd think more important than using more of the pcie lanes though would be quad channel so-dimm like the "little monster" board has.
The board has to have an ethernet controller, might as well be a 10GbE, I'm guessing they don't really take up more space than the 1GbE controllers. And the M.2 slots wouldn't take up any front side board space. They are basically just traces straight from the CPU into the little M.2 connector. The Thunderbolt ports would require extra chips though, probably not worth it.I'd be okay with just 3 or 4 m.2 slots, that's still be enough for raid 5 and just the core density of threadripper on mitx would be insane.

No, we need thunderbot, that way I can connect a second GPU externally to my desktop.
ex, have a WS card in the system, and then plug in a gaming card externally when I want to game.
It'd have to have a daughter board for the m.2 probably, the socket would take up too much space on the front and back of the board.
Or just have a pcie gen 4 16 lane slot that you bifurcate out to 4 cards
Sorry folks, Threadripper on an ITX board is just not going to happen; nowhere near enough space for much of anything once the socket, VRM, & PCH are in place...
Let's hope that AMD can find a way to give us ITX users more memory bandwidth once the 16C/32T Ryzen 9's come out...!

ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE WITH ENOUGH DAUGHTERBOARDS! -Asus (probably)
Astounding how close to accurate this is to the actual board now available, except for the ram slots... only 4 on the actual thing...
haha, yup, if only it was available sooner. I hope we'll see an even better mATX board when the 3rd gen TR's are released.
