Not the top-of-the-line threadripper (which can go up to 32c/64t), but probably similar to the 5950x (16c/32t), which costs like 1000$.

But you’re comparing apples to oranges, because the real advantage of M1 chips is the unified memory - almost no CPU-GPU communication overhead, and that the GPU can use ginormous amounts of memory.

A threadripper also has many more PCIe lanes than a Ryzen. It's a bit of a different usecase I think although there's overlap.
