Really I wasn't expecting more cores so soon. AMD said that they are not planning more than 8 cores and now we see some info about new chipset and sockets. Really I'm not happy seeing that when I just paid for 8 core+X370 board.
I'd expect it to cost far more than R7 if it happens, as it would finally take on Intel HEDT range head on.
Some of the numbers makes sense based on what we know about the architecture, with 12 cores quad channel being delivered by 4 CCX each with 3 cores active. Dunno if the 8x 8MB L3 cache is a typo, mis-detection or real though, as that would run double current.
