There's already a 64-core Threadripper rumored for the end of this year.

Top-tier Ryzen 9 should reach "only" 32 cores on the 5nm process in 2 years.

Is this conjecture or has AMD stated in a roadmap they plan to have 5nm in 2 years?

They're going to use whatever TSMC uses, and TSMC is committed to 5nm. The process is already being tested.

But it might be 4-way SMP, so 128 threads...

I've seen multiple 4-way SMP rumors in comments in the last few weeks. Was there something hinted at, or a "leak" implying this might happen? I did a brief search but didn't find anything.

Just rumors on /r/AMD, who knows?
