There might not be a Mini-ITX Threadripper, the socket is simply too big, but it appears that MicroATX is happening. A new motherboard has just been revealed by ASRock a few days before CES2018.

The motherboard packs dual Gigabit Ethernet and Wifi-AC onboard networking. There are three reinforced PCI-Express 3.0 x16 slots and two memory slots.

There are also eight SATA ports, which makes this board a very interesting solution for media content creators, who prefer smaller cases.

According to ASRock, this motherboard has 11-phase VRM and three M.2 slots.
