So there was a rumor last year there might be a dual socket Threadripper/EPYC mobo, and that the CPU's would be capable of it, but now that I search for it, it seems that it only was 'some guy on Reddit says' style rumor. Despite that, anyone knows if there is any chance for that?

But there are mobos for dual socket epyc... https://www.amazon.com/Supermicro-H11DSI-NT-Dual-sockets-Mot...

Sorry misspoke there, meant only Threadripper. I would exhaust my budget buying cores on just a single Epyc...

That's free lunch thinking. A platform with almost the same specs as Epyc is going to cost almost as much as Epyc and thus there's not really any point.

"That's free lunch thinking."

My favorite kind!

there should be multi socket architectures that allow for more future proofing, imagine 2-4 sockets that can fit a CPU or a GPU or even a bridge.
