The single socket epyc boards expose a lot more PCIe than threadripper boards, from what I can tell.

$/core-ghz is much better on the TR parts though, if you're paying retail. Epyc chips sometimes show up on secondary markets at much better prices than retail. (e.g. my 7742's I basically paid the same $/core-ghz as the current top end threadripper parts).

Yeah it's generally a tradeoff of pci lanes to clock speed between the two. I would go for the clock speeds.
