Those are not Threadrippers. IMO AMD misses one market segment where people want workstation CPUs but not so much cores. I would consider 12-16 core Threadripper with 4 memory channels and more PCI-E lanes with adjusted price.

They're not threadrippers but there's not an enormous difference. The equivalent 16-core EPYC has an MSRP that's only 10% more than the desktop chip. The whole stack has similar pricing around core count and performance.

And yeah there is a bit of a gap there. You could always get a low end EPYC but then you miss out on the turbos.
