It seems like nowadays mainstream dev workstations are all intel-powered, which are most developers use in the companies.

I did a simple search but didn't find any ThreadRipper powered dev workstations. Is it because AMD doesn't care about the market or that is too hard to enter?

I think Dell has an exclusivity agreement of some kind for the first year. If you go on the Dell website there are Zen workstation available.

ThreadRipper is only a month or so old I think, so there wouldn't be many yet.
