ThreadRipper has 2 CPUs in its MCM, and Epyc has 4.

Ah, so the high-end ThreadRipper would contain the same chips as a high-end Epyc, just twice as many, and likewise for the lower-end variants, I guess? That makes sense.

Half. Epyc gets 4 MCM[0], ThreadRipper gets 2 (with each MCM containing 8 Ryzen cores)
