13xx, 15xx, 17xx, ThreadRipper.

For gen 2, that'd be:

23xx, 25xx, 27xx, ThreadRipper.

I think they picked the names/numbers to show some kind of equivalence with i3/5/7, but that's not quite it.

Don't forget the 1700X and 1800X.

ThreadRipper is interesting. It requires a different socket than the other desktop processors and is targeted more at workstation class machines.

In servers there are Epyc and Epyc 2.

ThreadRipper seems more like a Xeon competitor to me. Something for the server room crowd.

Epyc is the server Xeon competitor, Threadripper is a workstation cpu.

That'd be EPYC, their server offering.

Threadripper is their workstation CPU.
