I firmly believe that TR (with their higher base freq) + ECC would be the ultimate SERVER. The TR 3970x in particular is amazing for a server. It's 32 core, all running at a base freq of 3.7Ghz. It's amazing to have that kind of high clock with so many cores.

This is probably part of the reason why it's OEM-only. That way AMD can control where it's used, avoiding it competing with it's own EPYC server chips.

  It's good point but sad for DIY.

  It's probably the same price or more expensive than EPYC anyway so AMD doesn't care which one you buy.

People typically run EPYC's at 4 sockets per U of rack space (2p-2u4n: 4 dual processor nodes in 2U). With these, you'd be lucky to get 1/4 of the density, more likely 1/8. Any savings on chips would be more than eaten up by rack fees.
