Intel accidentally leaked its own upcoming new X399 and z390 chipsets in a document about their Rapid Storage Technology. The Z390 supports current-generation "Coffee Lake" and upcoming "Cannon Lake" processors, while the X399 supports HEDT derivatives based on the two architectures, namely "Coffee Lake-X" and "Cannon Lake-X," with no mention of "Skylake-X." It remains to be seen if the motherboards containing the new chipsets will be higher in cost. Personally I already find Intel's chipset motherboards to be a bit on the high side.
 

I've thought about going to X299 from my X99, but there is really no reason to. X299 just doesn't move the mark enough, especially on the NVME M.2 slots running through the PCH only and if you want to go through the CPU you have to use a PCI-E slot to do it and then you need the VROC to run Raid? I hope X399 addresses this. The 2066 cpu lineup is good, but their prices stink.
 
Threadripper cpu prices are good, but the motherboard prices stink and I really don't care for the size and power draw of the Threadripper cpu's.

I am slightly confused by that first sentence... not sure what you mean.

My mistake. I was thinking socket.

Ah! Ok, that makes sense. Yeah, they only allow two cpu’s/chipset per socket, then move on to a different socket.
