Real high end options only. Apart from the 1920X, that is a steal right now, but the board it needs is not cheap, it's a legacy platform, and Threadripper 1 did not work well for some workloads. I'd not ignore Ryzen 7 and Ryzen 9. If you can work with 128GB ram (and especially if you just want a regular strong system with the usual 16GB) 3700X, 3900X and 3950X are really strong processor and apart from the last one a lot cheaper. Most developers don't even need to go that high, not even on a workstation, one based on the Ryzen 5 3600 would not be weak.
