im hoping that hey come out soon so I can cop a 2920X or 2950X for cheap. The chips are reasonably priced I guess but the motherboards are so expensive

I wouldn't expect next gen tr until fall. Likely October - in the meantime the 1st gen tr are a good deal - 1950x is same price as a 2920 and you get 4 more cores at only ~250mhz lower speed.
XFR - yes. PBO, no.
The Gen2 Ryzen/TR chips use a more aggressive version of XFR though.
2950x I have supports XFR and absolutely has PBO
Oh the way it was written misled me no worriesHe was asking about 1st gen TR.
Take care. There is a whole post about a guy who says his computer was DOA and tried several X399 boards with 2950 and later 2970 Threadripper. Finally sent everything back and went Intel. I've seen all suppositions about his problem except the BIOS, which is the more obvious.You may need to update the BIOS to make the Threadripper 2000 compatible with the X399 board. The chipset hasn't changed and many boards may be sold with quite an older BIOS.
Where? I’ll read it
It is most likely the lack of an updated BIOS with the correct AGESA version that supports Threadripper 2. That can happen on X299 as well if you get a motherboard that was manufactured prior to ~October 2018 and you try to install a 9th Gen Skylake--X CPU (though it's just a 7th Gen with soldered IHS and Intel is now using the HCC die for all Skylake-X 9th Gen models).
Don't bother, it's not even entertaining. But if you must, here: https://hardforum.com/threads/friend-building-new-ryzen-2950x-system-doa-no-matter-what.1977602/
There's more to that story than the OP is admitting. Use a huge grain of salt when reading.
I've built a bunch of Threadripper systems, and they all work fine to this day. I used Gigabyte and ASUS motherboards. If you could please point out what I'm missing, I would be very grateful because time is limited for me today, and if you already caught it then there is no point in me looking for it. Thank you.
I am adamantly opposed to some claim of bios updates when concerning that thread.

except that most x399 come with the option to update the bios without a cpu even installed so that wasn't even the reason.. the problem lies in the fact that it was required to installed a bridge bios before the actual TR2 bios.. most people that screwed boards up are due to failing to install the bridge bios first.
that persons issues weren't due to bios and most likely were due to user error.
How can you tell which one is the bridge BIOS? I notice on the Zenith Extreme that BIOS Flashback would work only with certain versions of the BIOS.
usually when you go to the bios download page it'll say "must be installed after so and so bios" or it'll just say bridge bios but looks like asus doesn't do that. i'd probably say install the bios where 2nd gen TR support is added then update to the latest bios. i know for sure asrock uses bridge bios. if you go look at the x399 taichi bios page you'll see what it looks like.
